You’ll find opportunities and benefits that make a career rewarding and worthwhile. It’s no coincidence that our average length of service is 10 years. It’s because we do all we can to make BSS a great place to work.
What are we looking for?
Passionate and energetic people who have a real drive to develop their skillset.
The start of your journey is an apprenticeship but where will it end?
If you have the ambition and drive we have the support and training needed to build your career and become one of our future leaders.
What you’ll be doing?
As a Customer Service Apprentice you’ll get exposure across a number of areas within your branch, allowing you to see where your strengths and interests lie.
This will vary between talking to customers in our trade counter or speaking to them over the phone. You’ll be working with a team to get our products to the customer safely and efficiently. Everyday will be different and you will get to experience all that a BSS branch has to offer.

Right from the start of your career with us, you’ll be supported in your development.
You’ll join our Service and Know How Programme, a 12 month Apprenticeship that will give you tools to be successful in your role.
Over your apprenticeship, you’ll explore our safety culture, the products we sell, the services we provide and understand more about our customers.
