Job Description

The successful candidate will learn via one-to-one training, guidance and supervision with an experienced colleague covering all areas of flooring as you embark on your flooring career. It is very important to have a professional, focused approach in all the duties that you carry out.



Floorlaying is a hugely varied trade and you will work with many materials such as carpet, vinyl and floor tiles to name a few. You will learn to use specialist tools safely and correctly, under the supervision of fully qualified floorlayers. You will develop your new skills both in the workplace as well as when you visit the Skills Group training centre. Whilst at the training centre, each apprentice will have the opportunity to utilise our limitless materials and resources.



Roberts Flooring work on various premises such as;




  • New build houses.

  • Schools.

  • Bars.

  • Universities.

  • Nursing homes.



Each day will differ from the last!



You must adhere to health and safety in the workplace at all times and help ensure the smooth running of every project in order to complete work to schedules. You will be required to keep all work areas clean and tidy after each job, and ensure that all tools are in their rightful place at the end of each day. You must wear the appropriate personal protective equipment used within this role each day.



The work is often of a strenuous nature with a lot of lifting so you will have a good level of fitness for the role. As you develop in the trade you will need to have good attention to detail and take pride in a job well done in order to keep the good name of the company that they have established over many years in the profession.



The successful candidate is desired to have a valid UK driving licence but it is not essential and due to the machinery being used the employer are looking to hire someone aged 18 or over.


Personal Qualities :

  • You will be required to show a keen interest in learning a hugely varied trade where no two weeks are the same.

  • You must also be trustworthy as you work in homes of customers.

  • Good timekeeping is a must and a degree of flexibility is required as your working day finishes when the job is complete.

  • Your work will require keen attention to detail, to be able to work to high standards and take pride in your work.

  • If you are able to work in a physical role and still produce a good level of work then floorlaying is the profession for you.



Skills Required :

  • As you will be dealing with customers you will need good communication skills, be well mannered and presentable. Above all, you must be trustworthy when working in customers’ homes and dealing with other people.

  • If you are hard working and enjoy physical work then this is the position for you. Good manual skills and an enjoyment of practical learning will put you in the best position to excel in flooring.

  • No experience is necessary but you need to show a keen interest in the flooring sector and enjoy a physical role, with an ability to use your own initiative when required.



Future Prospects : On completion of your Level 2 qualification in floorcoverings, you will be qualified and have the opportunity to stay with the employer to further your career and gain more experience in the trade. You must show the desire and motivation to progress towards your chosen future career.
