When you’re needed to work on the salesfloor, your outstanding customer service skills will shine through. In return for supporting all company policies and procedures and having a great attitude to work, we will invest in you and your development from day one. Flexible working options are available.

About the Role:

To be a successful Home Design Consultant you will:

• Visit customers’ homes or conduct virtual meetings to suggest creative ideas that suit their needs and personality
• Provide a safe environment for customers and for yourself during home or store visits

• Flexible and proactive – working to times that suit our customers’ busy lives

• Comfortable organising and hosting virtual meetings where applicable
• Full driving licence and a car owner

In accordance with Home Office guidance successful candidates will be required to evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment.

This role is not one we would typically consider for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route due to, for example, the relevant Home Office requirements on skills level not being met. Candidates are therefore encouraged to consider their own right to work options without Next sponsorship

What’s Next

As part of your application you will be required to complete an online assessment. This will involve a Working with Numbers Assessment and a Retail Scenarios Assessment. Our in-store recruitment team will then review the successfully completed applications and those that match the job criteria closest will be contacted to arrange an initial Interview so we can have a chat to find out more about you.

In order to apply for this position you must not have had an unsuccessful online assessment (as detailed above) in the last 6 months.

Best of luck!
