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. (And by the way, we're rated as one of the best apprenticeship employers on Rate My Apprenticeship, click here to see 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

If you don't meet these requirements and this apprenticeship isn't right for you, we'd still love to hear from you so please take a look at www.tpplccareers.co.uk to see our non-apprenticeship opportunities.
