Branch Apprentice

Branch Multi Skilled 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. 

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

  • You are brand new to this kind of role

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.

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. 

The more you learn, the more you earn. 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.

As well as 22 days’ holidays + Bank Holidays, company pension scheme and life assurance, we offer a bonus scheme, cycle to work scheme, save and buy as you earn, 20% discounts across all Travis Perkins companies, financial education and support, recognition awards and discounts at over 1000 other retailers.
