Neptune Kitchen Designer Opportunity
At Neptune, thoughtful design sits at the very heart of what we do. Every home we help shape begins with a conversation, a collaboration, and a shared ambition to create something beautifully considered. Our Designers play a vital role in bringing those moments to life - translating ideas, needs and dreams into beautiful but functional kitchens and other rooms in the house, that are uniquely personal.
We're now looking for a Kitchen Designer to join our York store who is as passionate about people as they are about kitchen and home interior design, and who finds joy in the detail, the craft, and the journey from first sketch to final installation.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Welcome customers, listen carefully to their needs, and shape clear design briefs.
- Through in-store consultations and home visits, build a deep understanding of their lifestyle and aspirations before creating sketches, mood boards, sample boards, floorplans, costings and full presentation packs.
- Conduct site visits, keep customers and your Store Leader updated throughout the process, and maintain an inspiring design portfolio in store.
- Project management will also be a key part of your role. Use our in-house systems to manage timelines, documents and payments with accuracy.
- Working closely with retail colleagues and our installation team, ensure every project runs smoothly, support installation days where needed, participate in weekly design meetings, and help with keyholder responsibilities and support our shop floor team and store presentation.
- Ongoing training, designer days and product sessions will form part of your continuous development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also be proactive about your own learning and support the wider store team's understanding of architectural plans, bespoke drawings and presentation boards, helping to build design confidence across the team.
Who You Are:
- Bring a design-related qualification, previous experience in kitchen design and home design, and confidence with AutoCAD experience.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, excellent organisation, attention to detail, and commitment to outstanding customer service are essential.
- A warm, engaging communicator - comfortable guiding customers, collaborating with colleagues, and working in a busy, fast-paced environment.
- A full driving license and the ability to travel to customer homes are required. Our stores are open 7 days a week so you'll be flexible to work over the weekends and during the week too, on a rota basis.
Above all, you're creative, proactive, supportive, and grounded in a genuine enthusiasm for continuous improvement and the Neptune brand.

Our Story
Founded in 1996 by friends John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman, Neptune design and make pieces for your whole home. Recognised for our exacting standards, design-led aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, we're perhaps most known for our kitchens - with heirloom-worthy dressers not far behind. Neptune's trademark 'look' is British: refined, simple, sturdy, and with an almost obsessive attention to detail. We're also respected for our commitment to craft and quality. Put simply, we make things we're proud of, and that are designed to last a lifetime.
