About the Company
Oval Deene Recruitment are representing a leading European manufacturer within the luxury kitchen market, recognised globally for exceptional quality, innovation, and contemporary design. With a strong UK presence and an expanding retail network, they are now seeking a Design Assistant to support their Warwickshire showroom team.

The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for a creative and organised individual looking to develop their career within luxury kitchen design. Working closely with the senior designers, you will play a key support role in the showroom—acting as the first point of contact for clients, helping to create an exceptional customer experience, and assisting in the delivery of beautiful, bespoke kitchen projects.
This is a design support role with no sales targets, ideally suited to someone with strong experience in lead management, lead generation, and customer nurturing. The role involves handling enquiries both over the phone and face to face, while providing regional support to designers and helping maintain excellent customer relationships.

Key Responsibilities

* Act as the first point of contact for all showroom visitors, delivering a warm and professional welcome.

* Support designers throughout the full customer journey, from initial enquiry through to project completion.

* Assist in the creation of adhoc designs, mood boards, and presentations.

* Help prepare and develop design concepts using CAD/Winner software (training provided).

* Build strong relationships with clients, creating buy-in and confidence in the design process.

* Manage showroom administration, appointments, and general enquiries.

* Maintain the showroom to a high standard, ensuring it is always visually inspiring and well-presented.

* Provide day-to-day support to the design team, ensuring projects run smoothly and efficiently.
About You

* Passion for interior design, kitchens, or home design.

* Previous experience in a design support, retail, or customer-facing role is desirable.

* Strong communication skills with a natural ability to build rapport.

* Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.

* Creative mindset with a willingness to learn and develop design skills.

* Comfortable using design software or eager to be trained (CAD/Winner).

* Proactive, team-oriented, and professional approach.
