Susan Venn is currently looking for a full-time interior designer to be based in its studio in Surrey, UK.
Position type: interior designer full-time (four days’ a week negotiable for the right candidate)
Experience: three to five years’
About us
We are a busy, friendly boutique studio, specialising in high-end residential projects throughout the South East. We design fresh, contemporary interiors that steer clear of design fads. With an absence of a house style, you will be exposed to working on diverse briefs. Our cool studio features a constantly evolving library of materials and finishes, providing a fun, friendly and inspiring environment.
The role
You will be exposed to every process of interior design and will work closely with the design director. Applicants need to be Surrey-based or live within a short commute to the studio. This is a full time position, allowing the right candidate flexibility to work from home two days a week. Use of your own car to travel to site on occasions will be necessary. You will be a confident, friendly self-starter. It is vital that you have strong communication and organisational skills. You will be required to directly communicate with clients, suppliers, and contractors, thus a strong foundation of experience in being client and contractor facing is essential.
The successful candidate will have a broad knowledge of design styles and suppliers. We often push the boundaries of the client brief, therefore a natural eye for interesting colour and texture combinations would be a must.
