Apprentices/Trainees

Are you looking to learn trade flooring skills? Are you motivated and eager to learn? Take a look to see if you can join the Heritage Flooring team.

At Heritage Flooring, we appreciate the hard work and effort that goes into making a wood floor, especially as we see wood flooring as an art more than just a floor fitting. We are looking for others to join our team and help us create new visions, from fitting floors to other positions within the company as it grows. We also happily provide training from our experienced staff members to help build your skills from the ground up.

We operate mainly from Kent and look for team members to either live or commute to us. If you already live in the Kent area, then it shouldn't be an issue!

We are looking for eager people to work with us in making the best hardwood floors on the planet. Applications are invited from people who aspire to a high level of skill in woodworking - making fine board, parquet and marquetry floors. Our ideal candidate would be intelligent, mature, physically fit, strong and will be willing to undertake the occasional heavy physical work involved in moving materials and tools.

Our Ideal Candidate...

• ...should be happy and optimistic.
• ...should be self-confident and well spoken within any regional accent.
• ...should be well presented and neat in attire and work practices.
• ...should be a non-smoker.
• ...should have a background/experience in floor laying or carpentry.
• ...should be eager to gain skills and knowledge in woodwork and be proud of the tools they work with.
• ...should expect to invest in building up your own hand tools for use during jobs. Large machine tools are provided by the company.
• ...should be a good time keeper, self-motivated and be able to work without supervision.

What we offer is a life of job satisfaction. You and your team mates will almost always be responsible for the creation of each floor from start to finish. You will be creating beautiful things, many of which will last for centuries.

It is in the nature of the work that you will be working on projects alongside other high quality, highly skilled craftsmen amongst the companies own staff and other trades on site. You will also never stop learning, so whilst it is expected you will have a good knowledge of your trade, we are masters of ours but we make no claim to know all there is to know. We are learning new things every day, constantly developing new patterns and new hardwood floor images. We will teach you a wide variety of new skills and we also hope to learn from you as well, so if you bring skills absent in the company they will be well received.
