Asking questions and building relationships. Making sure our customers leave the branch with everything that they need for the job.
Building a fun working environment. Maintaining our great product availability and high branch standards, while making sure that your branch is somewhere everyone loves coming to work.

A positive attitude. Make sure that our customers have a great experience while in our branch.
Reliability. Be there when we need you, be flexible and fun to be around.

What you'll get
You’ll find every opportunity to be yourself and to bring your personality and potential to work plus so many more opportunities to take your career in retail wherever you want – up the ladder, across the business or into another role in the Travis Perkins Group. And because we want to do our best for you, you’ll be supported all the way with training and development – including access to our very own Toolstation Academy programmes.
Plus, you'll receive some of the best benefits in retail. So, 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.
