Job description

Joining our friendly and hardworking family as a Yard Sales Assistant, you'll be on the front line dealing with our customers who come into our yard. As part of the branch team, you will play a vital role in our continued success by providing first-class service.

What will I be doing?

No two days are the same in TP branch life, but here are some key responsibilities:

• Building strong relationships with customers to deliver high standards of service; being helpful and friendly at all times, often getting to know customers on a first-name basis.
• Working outdoors, processing customer orders, loading and unloading vehicles.
• Unloading building products from deliveries and accurately recording them in the branch warehouse.
• Using a forklift is ideal, but full training will be provided.
• Maintaining a tidy and safe working environment to ensure safety standards are met.

What skills do you need?

This is a key customer-facing role; you need to be able to provide great customer service. We can teach you the rest.

Does this sound like you?

We hope you can say ‘Yes’ to all of the following characteristics, which are in the DNA of all our Yard Sales Assistants:

• You are physically active, as this role involves lifting heavy building materials.
• You have a friendly and outgoing personality, happy to communicate face-to-face and build relationships.
• You are adaptable, resilient, and tenacious, with high energy and drive.
• You thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Being a Yard Sales Assistant at TP offers excellent opportunities for career development. You will be encouraged to enroll in our TP development scheme, available to colleagues and managers at all levels. We support your growth with a development plan aligned with our values.

You’ll also receive competitive pay + benefits, including an annual colleague bonus, contributory pension, private healthcare, life assurance, sharesave scheme, and discounts across the Travis Perkins Group (including Toolstation). Additionally, there are online discounts at leading retailers, airport parking, theme parks, dining out, and cinemas. Our working hours promote a great work-life balance, allowing most of our colleagues to enjoy weekends and bank holidays off.
