Are you a passionate, people-focused sales professional ready to make a meaningful impact? At McCarthy Stone, we are offering an exciting opportunity to join us as a Sales Consultant, helping to build a vibrant, connected retirement community in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
We are investing in what matters most: creating a high-performing, agile sales team ready to lead the way. If you are a driven, relationship-first professional who thrives on making a difference, now is the time to join us. We are expanding with purpose – bringing in top talent to serve our customers better, strengthen partnerships, and deliver real results.
This role is more than just sales. We are looking for someone who excels at creating exceptional customer experiences – someone motivated not only by targets, but by helping people find their perfect home in later life. Your ability to connect with customers, understand their needs, and guide them through a major life decision with care and confidence will be at the heart of your success.
To thrive in this role, you will need a strong commercial mindset and a proactive approach to managing and driving your own pipeline. Success comes from balancing customer needs with business goals and delivering measurable impact. You will be confident, with a proven track record in a customer-focused, target-driven environment, and demonstrate exceptional communication skills, genuine empathy, and the determination to see every opportunity through to a successful outcome.
A proactive attitude, the ability to build meaningful relationships, and a keen eye for detail will set you apart. Experience in estate agency or housebuilding is essential as it provides the foundation to understand the market, guide customers through complex decisions, and achieve sales success from day one. While our comprehensive training programme will support your growth, the right background will ensure you hit the ground running and make a real difference. What truly matters is your passion, reliability, and drive to deliver outstanding results.
