This isn't just a job, it's a career.

You'll join the Elliotts Living Spaces team, helping customers plan their new kitchen, bathroom or interior project, from the first chat in the showroom right through to the finish.

You'll also spend time on our merchant side, so you'll learn how the whole business works, not just one part.

Welcoming customers to the showroom and being their first point of contact
Learning about our kitchens, bathrooms and interiors, and the products we sell
Talking to customers face to face, on the phone and by email
Helping put together quotes, order details and product information
Getting things ready for design appointments, like samples, brochures and notes
Following projects from first idea to finished room, and keeping customers updated along the way
Helping sort out any issues after fitting, so every project ends well
Keeping the showroom, displays and samples looking their best
Seeing how the showroom is run, from planning projects to working with suppliers and fitters
Finding out what makes a showroom successful, from looking after customers to making a profit
Spending time on the merchant side of the branch and with other teams across Elliotts.

About the Employer

Elliotts Living Spaces

Elliotts is a family owned builders' merchant. We've been serving customers across the South of England since 1842. Today the business is led by Tom, the great-great-great grandson of our founder. Elliotts Living Spaces is our kitchens, bathrooms and interiors team. We help homeowners and trade customers create rooms they love. Being family owned means we think long term, and that includes our people. We'd much rather grow our own talent than look outside every time a role comes up. Lots of our team have been with us for years, and many have worked their way up. We keep things simple. We know our customers, work safely, deliver what we promise and look out for each other. Decisions are made in our branches, by the people closest to the customer.
