All finance is subject to status and the applicable terms and conditions. You will have the freedom to understand each customer’s priorities, demonstrate the strength of our products and create a tailored solution rather than offering an off-the-shelf package. Our appointments are carefully qualified before being allocated to the sales team. Wherever a property is jointly owned, appointments are arranged with both homeowners present, ensuring that everyone involved can explore the options, ask questions and make an informed decision together. This gives our consultants the best possible opportunity to deliver a complete presentation and progress the sale during the appointment. We also believe that your work should remain your work.

You will usually work two Saturdays per month, with Saturday appointments scheduled between 10:00am and 3:00pm at the latest. There is no Sunday working. Your diary and territory will be managed carefully to keep journeys practical, minimise unnecessary travel and give you the strongest possible opportunity to make each day productive. This position is aimed at established sales professionals with direct experience of selling windows and doors within the home-improvement industry. You will need: • Proven experience selling windows and doors directly to homeowners, • A strong and demonstrable record of achieving sales targets, • Good technical knowledge of uPVC and aluminium products, • The ability to build trust quickly and sell consultatively, • Confidence handling objections and closing higher‑value sales, • A professional, organised and self‑motivated approach, • Excellent communication and customer‑service skills, • A full UK driving licence and access to a suitable vehicle, • The flexibility to work across the stated appointment schedule and two Saturdays per month We are looking for people who can bring experience, credibility and results from the outset. • £30,000 basic salary, • Realistic OTE of £60,000–£80,000, • Uncapped earning potential through commission, • Fuel card provided, • A territory tailored around where you live, • Carefully planned appointments designed to minimise travel, • Approximately four or five qualified leads per day, • Qualified, pre‑arranged customer appointments, • Continued credit for your deals when customers proceed at a later date, • A bespoke uPVC and aluminium product range, • A++ energy‑rated options, • A comprehensive 20‑year insurance‑backed guarantee, • Interest‑free finance and multiple customer credit options, • Support from experienced administration, surveying and installation teams, • The opportunity to represent two established home‑improvement brands, • Genuine earning potential across a substantial regional market, • Two Saturdays per month, finishing by 3:00pm, • No Sunday working TWC Home Group Limited brings together TWC Home Improvements and Permaframe Home Improvements — two established, family‑run home‑improvement brands serving customers across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Bath and Somerset.
