Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
You will need to be friendly and particularly good with people, as you will interact with our customers daily and will also be required to assist with deliveries to customers' homes.
The role involves, but is not limited to:
- Dealing with goods in - carefully checking and signing for deliveries before labelling and putting them in the right location in the warehouse
- Picking customer orders and assembling them in our customer area
- Loading customers' goods into their vehicles by hand with a smile and a friendly comment
- Keeping the computer system up to date with the warehouse and stock information, and using the computer system to check and maintain customer orders
- Replenishing displays in the showroom - e.g. when items are sold from our clearance and seconds area, replacements must be taken from stock and installed out on display looking highly presentable
- This will require some DIY skills
- Fixing items and helping with showroom, vehicle, and building maintenance
- Stock checking
- Delivering customer orders - accompanying our driver on two-person deliveries and occasionally driving the company vans (if over 21)
- Keeping the vans and Smart Cars washed and maintained
- Collecting goods from our remote storage location to replenish stocks in Bath
- Driving the forklift truck and loading and unloading vehicles. Forklift training will be provided towards the end of the apprenticeship, but only after the successful applicant is fully settled into the team and fully committed to completing their apprenticeship and staying on for a period
