    • My name is Natalie, and I currently work as part of the recruitment team here at Travis Perkins, but I started off my career in my local branch when I was 18 completing a development programme, which I then became a Branch Supervisor. 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 working in a completely different area of the business in an area that I love.

    As part of your role you will enrol onto a 12 month programme, you will gain a Level 2 Hire Controller qualification. 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 training 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!)

    Just remember you are never too old to start a Development Programme.

    Once your development programme is completed you will remain a valued member of the team.

    Not only will you gain a qualification off the back of this programme, but Travis Perkins have a tonne of benefits too:
  • 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!

  • 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
