Job description

We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store.

Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes.

At Toolstation, we're not just hiring for today – we're investing in your future and our own. Many of our managers began their journey on the shop floor and through dedication and the support of our award-winning apprenticeship programmes, they now lead their own stores or oversee significant operations.

This is your chance to build a successful career with one of the UK’s fastest-growing retailers. As a Store Apprentice, you'll earn while you learn, gaining hands‑on experience in key areas such as customer service, product knowledge, merchandising, business operations, and safety procedures.

• Engage with customers: Understand their needs and provide excellent service through genuine conversations.
• Get involved in store operations: Handle deliveries, stock shelves, and assist with warehouse tasks – be prepared to roll up your sleeves! There's a real family feel here and we all pitch in as part of a close‑knit team. And since there's always loads of support from those around you, you'll never feel like you're struggling.
• Keep things running smoothly: Maintain a clean and well‑organised store, ensuring everything is ready for our customers and safe for our colleagues.
• Learn while working: Set aside time each week to complete coursework, supported by your Store Manager and a dedicated apprenticeship coach

What you'll bring

• A positive attitude: A warm, friendly approach with a passion for delivering outstanding customer service.
• Reliability & flexibility: Show commitment to your team and customers, and adapt to the varied tasks that come your way.
• Energy & enthusiasm: No retail experience is required, just a willingness to learn and a drive to succeed.

• Company pension scheme and life assurance
• Bonus scheme and cycle to work program
• Save and buy as you earn options
