Curtain Fitter | Regional local site visits | £32,000pa | Full-time |
Early start, early finish NO weekends
What this role is really about: Our client needs an experienced curtain fitter who takes real pride in a beautiful finish. You’ll be fitting curtains, tracks, poles and blinds in care homes and later living communities across the UK, and it’s the final touch that turns a room into somewhere that genuinely feels like home. Every window you dress will be finished to the same high standard as the rest of their work.
About our client: They design and hand-craft bespoke furniture and soft furnishings for care and later living settings. They’re an established family business with generations of experience in furniture and furnishings, and they work with some of the UK’s best-known care providers, creating spaces that feel like home rather than an institution. Everything is made to order, and their reputation is built on quality, service and a personal touch.
The role: You’ll join their installation team, travelling to care homes, retirement developments and later living complexes across the UK. You’ll often be working in residents’ own homes and shared spaces, so a tidy, respectful and patient approach matters just as much as your technical skill. On larger projects, you’ll work alongside the delivery and furniture installation team to complete each room.
Key responsibilities:
-
Fitting curtain tracks, poles and blinds to a range of wall and ceiling types, including plasterboard, masonry and concrete
-
Hanging and dressing curtains so they fall and finish just right
-
Installing ceiling-mounted and bay window tracks
-
Checking stock and fixings before each job, and reporting any damage or shortages
-
Working safely at height on ladders and steps, following risk assessments and site rules
-
Leaving every room clean and tidy, removing packaging and waste
-
Working alongside the delivery and furniture installation team on larger projects
-
Communicating clearly and courteously with site managers, care staff and residents
-
Completing job sheets and photographing finished work for sign-off
Who we think will thrive here: You’ll already have experience as a curtain fitter, blind fitter or in a similar soft furnishings installation role, whether that’s in residential, hospitality or contract interiors. Knowledge of fire-retardant fabrics and contract soft furnishings would be a real bonus. So would joinery, carpentry or general handyman skills, or experience measuring and surveying for curtains and blinds. Above all, you’ll take pride in a quality finish and be kind and patient around residents.
