Benchmarx Kitchens and Joinery have an opportunity for you to join our family as a Kitchen Design Apprentice. Previous industry knowledge is not essential for this role, all we look for is an individual who is customer focused and the passion to take ownership of your own success. In return, we will provide the training and support you need to become an expert Kitchen Designer, and help our trade customers turn individual living spaces into unique, kitchen realities. 

As a Kitchen Design Apprentice, you’ll be at the heart of the business playing a vital role in delivering sales & profit towards the success of the branch. You will work closely with customers listening carefully to what they want and understand their needs.

Being a target driven role, you will manage and seek out your own sales leads.

Salary: Circa £20,000 dependant on experience + 22 days holiday plus bank holidays + discounts and access to health and well being advice and support. 

Location: This position will be based within your host branch but you will be required to spend time within other branches within your region. This will require the successful candidate to have a full UK driving licence, and be flexible to travel to different locations

How will we support you?
The 12 month apprenticeship programme teaches you to be a great kitchen designer within our business, pulling together CAD training, inspiration design and product knowledge training to provide our valued customers with the best possible service. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Furniture Design.

We provide you with a fantastic support network through; 1:1 coaching, mentoring and technical and skills training to enable you to progress your career with us.
