Job description

Branch Management Apprentice

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 13 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

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

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

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

You can hear more on this from our current colleagues here

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

• 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

What You’ll Get

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

For the first 6 months your salary will be £9.60 per hour, and this will grow as you grow and develop, you will graduate the apprentice programme on £11.60 per hour
