We are seeking a motivated and customer-focused Kitchen, Bathroom & Wardrobe Designer to join our team in one of the most inspirational areas of our store.

Using our design software, you will guide customers through the design process, helping them select layouts, appliances, fittings, and finishes that best suit their style, budget, and lifestyle. You'll also carry out on-site consultations, enabling you to accurately assess spaces, understand customer needs, and create practical, personalised design solutions. Full training on our design programme will be provided.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Conducting on-site consultations with customers to understand their space, requirements, and project goals

- A creative mindset with the ability to identify practical solutions
- A passion for delivering outstanding face-to-face customer service
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Good numeracy, literacy, and computer skills
- The ability to prioritise tasks and work to deadlines
- A proactive and positive attitude with a willingness to contribute to the wider team
- A strong commitment to health and safety
Previous retail sales experience and/or experience within a design, interiors, kitchen, bathroom, or cabinetry environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.
