The Care Home Interiors Company is a multi-award-winning, family run business, offering an exceptional design and installation service based in Medstead, Hampshire.

You’d be part of friendly, dynamic and closeknit team who take care and pride in the items that are made and installed. We are seeking a professional stylist to be present on all installations, to place and present our designs and products with flair, to ‘hand over’ to the Care Supplier and be ready for residents.

You’ll need a positive attitude with excellent attention to detail and a commitment to a high end result. You should be reliable and enjoy working as part of a multiskilled team consisting of builders/tradespeople/suppliers/customers. You’ll come into contact with elderly residents so need to be friendly and understanding, plus be independent and able to manage your own time efficiently.
