Loungers is a substantial and growing operator in the UK hospitality sector, operating over 270+ sites in England and Wales across three distinct but complementary brands, Lounges, Cosy Club, and Brightside. Founded in 2002 by three friends who wanted to create a neighbourhood caf-bar that they would want to go to, the Group is now the only growing all-day operator of scale in the UK and has consistently outperformed the wider UK hospitality sector over the past three years. Despite being the fastest growing caf/restaurant group in the Country, Loungers has retained its entrepreneurial spirit and quirky 'Loungey' local community atmosphere.
The role in a nutshell
This role offers an exciting opportunity to support the entire design department and gain broad experience across multiple areas of the creative process. While initial responsibilities will focus on ordering and procurement tasks, the position is intentionally flexible, allowing you to take on a variety of tasks such as research, additional drawings, and helping to transform design sketches into polished elevations and décor plans.
The focus will be more on supporting project delivery and technical tasks rather than conceptual design, making it ideal for someone passionate about the design industry who wants to be involved in the practical side of bringing creative visions to life.
As we continue to grow, it's the perfect time to expand our team. You'll be assisting in the design and delivery of our iconic Lounge, Cosy Club, and Brightside brands, helping to ensure each space reflects our unique design ethos while developing your skills in a collaborative and inspiring environment.
