Job Title: Internal Sales Assistant
We are Travis Perkins.
Leading our industry for over two centuries, we've built our early foundations into a nationwide business that gives customers the products they need, with the smile they deserve. We’re proudly part of Travis Perkins plc, the UK’s largest distributor of building materials, providing unrivalled customer service from over 1,400 branches across the UK.
What’s it like to be a Sales Assistant?
Every day is different at Travis Perkins, but here’s what you can expect:
- Strong customer relationships are key to our success, both in person and by phone. You’ll deliver the highest service standards, understanding and meeting your customers’ current and future needs before sending them on their way with a smile.
- We keep safety at the heart of everything we do. Maintaining high standards across our working environment keeps everybody safe and happy all day, every day.
- Working alongside our partnered businesses, our combined product range means there are always more materials, tools, or services to offer our customers. Understanding and promoting additional products will see you succeed.
- You’ll spend time outside in our Yard, helping to process orders, load and unload vehicles, and accurately book deliveries into our systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Do you have what it takes?

- Physical ability to process heavy and bulky stock throughout the Yard and Warehouse while adhering to our health and safety guidelines?
- Ability to deliver a best-in-class sales experience through positive and purposeful interactions that leave a lasting impression?
- Capacity for self-motivation, multitasking, and staying organised in adaptable, fast-paced environments?
You don’t need to be an expert in building materials and tooling—we’ll support you to learn this on the job!
Are you a team player who is comfortable stepping outside of your role to support colleagues across the wider branch?
What’s in it for you?
- Development schemes: Opportunities to enrol and receive support to build the tools and knowledge necessary to excel and progress.
- Competitive salary: With bonus earning potential—we achieve together, so we earn together!
