Apprentice Project Assistant

We have a brand new opportunity as an Apprentice Project Assistant to join Travis Perkins. This role is to support the Programme Director in delivering key business projects. If you are highly organised, self motivated and looking for an opportunity in a fantastic business we would love to hear from you! 

What you’ll do

As an Apprentice Project Assistant you will support the Programme Director to deliver key business change and improvement projects through effective project management, reporting, communication and supporting the project leads within the team. You will add real value by being the key communication link between the team, ensuring all actions are carried out and that all business communications are fit for purpose and delivered in the correct tone and language. 

To support your development within this role, you will enrol onto our Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship. This is a 12 month programme delivered by our award winning internal apprenticeship team and will allow you to build your confidence with project management, continuous improvement and change management skills. 

Key Accountabilities:
