Job Description

Design a career. Build your future.  Learn with the UK's Number 1 Trade Supplier 
 
 This isn't a standard apprenticeship - It's a role where you can turn people's kitchen dreams into reality, and a place where you can make a real difference. 
 
 In June 2026, Howdens is launching a brand-new, enhanced cohort programme for Apprentice Kitchen Sales Designers across major city regions in the North of England. This programme has senior leadership backing, extra learning investment, and a community of apprentices progressing together. 
 
 If you're ambitious, people-focused and interested in sales, design and building relationships, this is an outstanding way to start a long-term career with one of the UK's most successful businesses. 

 What makes this apprenticeship different? 
 
 You'll be part of a regional cohort, learning and developing together from day one. Alongside your depot-based role, you'll benefit from: 
  
 Cohorted classroom sessions with apprentices from day one  
 Direct learning from Howdens experts, including:   
 Lead Kitchen Sales Designers  
 Product and category teams  
 Internal sales and leadership teams   
 Close support from Learning & Development and training partners  
 One-to-one support from your apprenticeship coach  
 Strong visibility and sponsorship from senior leaders  
 A structured, supportive route into a sales career with real progression   
 This programme is designed to help you fast-track your career into a future top performer and sales leader, not just fill a role. 

 The role - what you'll be learning to do 
 
 As an Apprentice Kitchen Sales Designer, you'll learn how to turn ideas into reality. 
 
 You'll work with professional builders and their customers to: 
  
 Understand customer needs and lifestyle requirements  
 Visit homes to measure and plan kitchen spaces  
 Design inspirational kitchens using Howdens' market-leading products and design tools  
 Create high-quality visuals using our My Kitchen design service  
 Price, plan and manage orders accurately and professionally  
 Build long-lasting relationships based on trust and service   
 This is a sales role, but it's also creative, relationship-focused, and highly skilled. 

 Who this programme is for 
 
 You don't need experience in kitchens or sales - we'll teach you that. 
 
 We're looking for people who: 
  
 Enjoy talking to people and building relationships  
 Are motivated, driven and keen to succeed  
 Like problem-solving and being creative  
 Have a competitive spirit  
 Want a long-term career, not just a short-term job  
 Are organised, reliable and ready to take responsibility  
 Are open to learning, feedback and personal development
