Are you looking for the next step in your career? Are you an effective communicator with a strong customer service background? We are currently looking for an Assistant Branch Manager to join our team.

What you’ll do
You’ll support the Branch Manager with the day to day running of the branch. Learning all processes, you will be confident in coaching your team and managing the branch in the absence of the manager to ensure that all targets are met.

Organisation is key in this role - with a hands-on approach, you’ll be happy to get involved with all aspects of the branch whether that’s supporting with CAD designs or deliveries in our warehouse, or just making sure that we are providing the best service possible for our customers.

We are a trade focused business, so a large part of your day will involve working directly with the customers and creating a personalised experience. Alongside your team, you’ll be creating and maintaining relationships with local tradesmen, meaning it’ll be easier to increase profits and maximise sales.

Is this you?
You will either have experience of managing a team or have a strong customer service background with a desire to take the next step in your career. Whatever your background, we’ll support your development and offer you the opportunity to make the role your own. You don’t need industry experience we just want people that are passionate about joining our business! Having a Full UK Drivers licence is essential for this role as you will be required to travel.

What’s in it for you?
At Benchmarx, we have strong family values and believe in getting the right work/life balance, meaning you’ll only work during the week and 4 hours every other Saturday. We make sure that hard work is rewarded and as an inclusive, family environment we want every team member to be recognised for the work they do. 

We’ll also equip you with a benefits package that grows as you grow with the company:

        * Save-as-you-earn scheme
        * Buy-as-you-earn scheme
        * Contributory pension scheme
        * Colleague discount across a variety of Group businesses including special discounts across our Trade Merchanting businesses

A bit about us
For 15 years Benchmarx have offered a high quality range of kitchens and joinery products backed up by excellent service.  But what really sets us apart is a company culture of being great people to work with, whether as colleagues or with our valued customers.  With over 150 branches UK wide, we are proud to be part of Travis Perkins.  

We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves. 
You be you, it makes us, us.
