Customer Service Apprenticeship
Description✓Travis Perkins
✓You're probably thinking of bricks, blocks, timber and tools
✓I certainly did before I started working here, but there is so much more to this business than that
✓Industry leading apprenticeship schemes, career development opportunities, bonus earning potential, retail discounts, gym memberships - the list goes on! My name is Charlotte, and I'm a Yard Apprentice here at Travis Perkins
✓Let me tell you more about us, and why you should consider a career with our brilliant business
✓Let's be honest, no one grows up with a burning passion to work in a builders merchant [well, I know I certainly didn't!]
✓I didn't really know what to expect, but since joining, I have been supported by an amazing team that have an unrivalled passion to provide an excellent level of service to our local customers [typically builders and tradespeople] and I'm now on track to pass my apprenticeship and I'm already looking at options to enrol on a management apprenticeship next to further my career
✓Your primary role will be to work in the yard outside, this is where all of our materials are stored
✓I love working in the yard in the summer, soaking up the rays whilst helping out our customers, but the winter can be slightly chilly! As a Yard Apprentice, you will be responsible for maintaining our high standards, making sure the yard is kept tidy, clean, and most importantly - safe
✓You will build great relationships with our customers, most of whom you'll see regularly and be on first name terms with
✓You will help our customers find materials, provide advice and help them load their vehicles
✓I knew nothing [and I mean, nothing!] about building materials before starting here, but that really isn't an issue
✓As part of this 12 month apprenticeship programme, you will gain a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Customer Service which is the equivalent of 5 GCSE passes
✓All of your learning is "on the job", Travis Perkins values a work-life balance and there is no need for you to complete any of your work "out of hours"
✓The course consists of a number of modules and you will have a dedicated coach that will guide you throughout, as well as being supported by your line manager [and in my case a really supportive team who I consider to be my friends!]
✓Not only will you gain a qualification off the back of this programme, but Travis Perkins have a tonne of benefits too:
✓You will be paid a competitive annual salary
✓22 days annual leave, pension, bonus and staff discount [Including 20% off at Toolstation!]
✓Discounts at various retailers including Currys, Tesco, Boots, John Lewis + many more!
✓Upon completion of the programme, you will be awarded a "Level 2 Apprenticeship in Customer Service" qualification, and you will remain a valued member of the team [Oh, and your pay will go up too!]
✓Travis Perkins is part of the Travis Perkins plc group
✓Our group has a number of different businesses under its umbrella meaning plenty of opportunity for internal movement and progression, it's strongly encouraged here
✓Sociable working hours, we're looking for someone to work Mon to Fri [Apply online only] but can offer flexibility for the right person, and we don't work Bank Holidays either
✓I hope that you're as excited about this role as I am, and that my first hand experience has provided a small insight into what we do here
✓Apply today, you won't regret it!
✓We're driving to become a truly inclusive employer
✓We want everyone to be at their best and it's our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves
✓You be you, it makes us, us
