Travis Perkins – Management Apprentice Opportunity in Stroud

Are you ready to start your career or take a new path in a different industry? Would you like to work for one of Britain’s Top Employers?

At Travis Perkins, we’re looking for friendly, driven people who enjoy working with others and helping customers. If you’re passionate about great service, teamwork, and sales – and want to earn while you learn –we’d love to hear from you!

We’re offering a fantastic opportunity to train for a management position while gaining hands-on experience. We're looking for future leaders – people who are eager to get involved, learn every part of our business, and grow a successful career with us.

Join us and start building your future today.

What you’ll do:

This is your opportunity to be enrolled on our industry leading apprenticeship development scheme enabling you to pour the foundations for a successful career with the largest distributor of building materials in the UK.

This is anything but ‘just a job’.You’ll be working whilst completing our bespoke 30 month scheme, giving you the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of our operation, as you move your way across all areas of our Branch and then into management development to give you all the skills to lead a team.

Wherever you are, you’ll play a pivotal role as part of our team, from working in the yard, serving and selling to customers on the counter, answering the phone/responding to emails, manning the Benchmarx area or the Hire counter to receiving and storing products; you’ll cover it all and our customers will love you for it!

For the first year we’ll teach you about our safety first approach, the builders merchant industry, the market and our business strategy. You'll learn how to sell by providing great service, you’ll gain a deep understanding of our product base and so much more. In the second year, you’ll learn all about your leadership style and how to inspire a team.

Your learning will be “on the job” with time set aside each week to complete any necessary coursework, and there’s no expectation to take work home with you. You’ll have a dedicated apprenticeship coach who’ll support you every step of the way and you’ll receive 1:1 coaching, mentoring and technical and skills training to enable you to progress your career with us. At the end of your training, you’ll complete an end point assessment and on successful completion you’ll achieve a L2 Apprenticeship in year 1 and a L3 Apprenticeship in year 2.

You can hear more on this from our current colleagues.(And by the way, we’re rated as one of the best apprenticeship employers on Rate My Apprenticeship, clicktosee more!

What you'll bring:

Experience in merchanting is not needed. In fact, experience in any sort of work is not required because if you’ve got 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:

  • Safety conscious-Our number one priority is to keep our colleagues safe and well, and that’s down to all of us so you’ll need a real focus on this
  • Hard working-This job can be demanding and there’s always plenty to do.
  • Customer focused -You may not have worked in a customer service role, but you know what good service looks like and how to provide it
  • Team spirited -Be happy to muck in and get your hands dirty and look after one another
  • Adaptable -This apprenticeship will see you move around the operation in a fast moving environment
  • Authentic- We have a saying here at Travis Perkins - You be you, it makes us us; so come and let your personality and passion shine through

You also need to meet the below requirements…

  • You are over 18 (due to some of the products we sell)
  • You’re not currently in any form of education
  • You are eligible to work in the UK
  • You are brand new to this kind of role
  • You are able to drive and have access to your own vehicle

This position will be based at ourStroudbranch but during your programme you will spend time in other branches within your local region. This will require the successful candidate to have a full UK driving licence and ideally access to a vehicle, as you will be required to travel to different locations.

If you don’t meet these requirementsand this apprenticeship isn’t right for you, we’d still love to hear from you so please take a look at to see our non-apprenticeship opportunities.
