Job description
What you'll do
You will be enrolled on our industry leading apprenticeship development programme providing you with an opportunity to pour the foundations for a successful career with one of the UK’s largest suppliers of building materials to the building and construction industry. This is anything but ‘just a job’, you’ll be working whilst completing our bespoke 12 month scheme which will teach you how to sell by providing great service, understanding our customers’ needs and our business strategy, product awareness, safety, first line management skills and so much more.
Your learning will be “on the job” with time set aside each week to complete any necessary coursework, and there is no expectation to take work home with you. You’ll have a dedicated apprenticeship coach who will support you every step of the way.
You'll start the programme working in our Toolstation store learning the skills of fast paced retailing and after 4 months you will move onto work ino one of our Travis Perkins branches where you will discover the world of construction supplies across building, timber, kitchens, plumbing and heating, landscaping, painting and decorating and all things that matter to the trade. The remainder of your 12 months will be spent either in one of our other businesses, a distribution centre or a head office support function position. After that, you'll be set to continue in a great career within our group.
What you'll bring
Experience is not needed, in fact, experience in any sort of work is not required because if you have the right attitude to learn and genuinely want to develop a career, we can teach you the rest. However here are some of the things we look for:
- Hard working - This job can be demanding and there is always plenty to do.
- Team spirited - Be happy to muck in and get your hands dirty with a positive outlook that helps us get the job done
- Reliabilit y - be there when needed (and be fun to be around!)
- Customer Service & Intuition - you will need to understand what it takes to make customers happy and keep them coming back for more of your great service
What you'll get
Due to some of the products we sell, you will need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.
We’re not just looking for people today but for the future leaders of tomorrow. And being part of Travis Perkins plc, there are ample opportunities to move around our business or group in order to gain broader experience.
As well as 22 days’ holidays + Bank Holidays, company pension scheme and life assurance, we offer a bonus scheme, cycle to work scheme, save and buy as you earn, 20% discounts across all Travis Perkins companies, financial education and support, recognition awards and discounts at over 1000 other retailers.
Oh, and as mentioned, you’ll be enrolled on our development scheme which once complete, is the equivalent of 5 GSCE’s. You can hear more on this from our current colleagues here.
