Joining our friendly and hard working family as a Counter Sales Assistant , you'll be on the front line dealing with our customers that come into our shop.  As part of the branch team, you will play a vital role in our continued success, providing a first class service.

What will I be doing?

Not one day is the same as the next in TP branch life, but here are a few pointers:

• Our success is built on strong relationships with our customers so it’s essential that you can help deliver the highest standards of service - the key thing is to be helpful and friendly at all times, you will likely get to know our customers on a first name basis.

• You will be based inside, processing our customer orders, answering the phone, keeping stock and facing up shelves.

• Full training is provided to use our systems

• Safety is at the forefront of everything we do, your aim will be to ensure that our standards never slip, this means maintaining a tidy and safe working environment.

This role is based in our Travis Perkins Edinburgh Sighthill branch. This is a brand new branch which will be opening this year! We are looking for some strong talent to come in and take this branch to strength and make it the best builders merchant in the local area. They will be a team of 13 including a tool hire, HGV wagons and a benchmarx in the branch. This is an opportunity for someone to get their teeth stuck in and develop a long lasting career with us. We are looking for someone to bring confidence and customer service skills to be the front of our business working on the counter.

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.

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

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! 18+

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.

*Applications currently open to candidates aged 18+

You be you, it makes us, us.
