About Us
Founded in 2001, Total Plumbing Supplies provides plumbing and heating products with customer service at its core.
As part of the Independent Builders Merchants Group (IBMG), we support plumbing and heating professionals with trusted product availability, expertise, and advice.
Due to continued growth, we’re looking for an Assistant Branch Manager to join our Chard branch.
The Role
As Assistant Branch Manager, you’ll support the day-to-day running of a busy plumbing and heating branch.
Working closely with the Branch Manager, you’ll help lead the team, drive sales, and deliver outstanding customer service.
This is a hands-on role combining leadership, sales, customer service, and operational support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
