Two Gentoo customers secure exclusive career opportunity at JTC

We have partnered with JTC Furniture to create two Trainee (Kitchen) Surveyor roles, exclusively available for our customers.

Following a comprehensive recruitment process, the two successful Gentoo customers will begin their career with JTC - a leading UK manufacturer of quality kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom furniture who work closely with Gentoo to provide their customers with new kitchens.

As part of the role, Donna and Jane will be working in our homes, helping customers design their new kitchens. They will receive full training, hands-on experience, and continuous support from JTC’s expert teams as they develop their skills in surveying and design.

Marc Edwards, Executive Director of Property, said: “We’d like to say a massive congratulations to Donna and Jane for securing the role at JTC. This is a really exciting opportunity and we wish them all the success as they start their career with JTC. We look forward to working closely with JTC to offer more opportunities like this for our customers.”

Donna said: “I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work with both JTC and Gentoo as their new Trainee Kitchen Surveyor.  The application and interview process was straightforward (slightly nerve wracking as interviews are) however Colin, Sharon and Lynne made me feel welcome and put me at ease from the initial interview.  I am looking forward to the future and excited to get started!”

Jane, added: "The interview process for the Trainee Kitchen Surveyor role with JTC in partnership with gentoo was a really positive and welcoming experience. The team made me feel really comfortable throughout the process and clearly explained the role and opportunities within the company. It was a great experience and gave me good insight into the supportive working environment."

Colin Tweddell, JTC, said: “We’re delighted to welcome our new Trainee (Kitchen) Surveyor to the team. This partnership with Gentoo allows us to provide real opportunities for people in our local communities while strengthening our commitment to quality, service, and long-term investment in our workforce.”

We are committed to creating meaningful employment opportunities for our customers and the wider community. Alongside initiatives like this, we are continuing to enhance our employment offer to ensure every customer has access to the opportunities and support they deserve.

JTC is one of Gentoo’s long‑standing key suppliers, playing a significant role in their £45m annual investment programme to ensure our existing homes remain warm, safe and decent.
