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

A typical week might look like this:

  • Receiving a delivery of goods in and ensuring everything is booked into the system through purchase orders
  • Conducting any daily counts on stock to ensure stock accuracy
  • Maybe you’ll spend some time undertaking extra training such as Hazards Goods
  • The afternoon could be spent in the ‘Goods Out’ department, working from the system to pick daily orders
  • Once a month you'll be at Barnsley College for the in person element of the course
  • Spending some time shadowing Daryl, so that you can understand the whole process of booking in items, picking orders and sending orders that are dispatched from Martek on a day-to-day basis
  • You might spend some time learning how to run basic diagnostics on returned items still under warranty
  • You might spend a few hours in the morning making sure your apprenticeship portfolio is up to date
  • Then you’ll spend the day receiving goods in and ensuring that standards have been met within the warehouse
  • If working in the ‘Goods Out’ department, you’ll ensure weights and dimensions are provided for each order that has been picked
  • You might spend some time booking back in any returns that have been received from the week
  • As it’s a Friday you’d get to clock off that little bit earlier and go enjoy your weekend
