School-Based Retail Traineeship - Lawrence and Hanson

Are you a high school student looking to get a head start in the business and retail world? MRAEL, in partnership with Lawrence & Hanson, is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated student to join the team as a School-Based Retail Trainee!

This position is suitable for students currently in year 10 or 11 at school. 

Lawrence & Hanson is a leading electrical wholesaler. This means you will be working in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment where no two days are the same. If you are willing to learn, our friendly team is committed to investing in your development and providing a safe, supportive space for you to grow.

What You Will Be Doing:

This hands-on role covers everything it takes to run a busy store. Your daily duties will include:

• Customer Service: Greeting customers with a smile, helping them find what they need, serving them, and processing purchases through the system.
• Stock Control: Unpacking deliveries and boxes, counting stock, stacking shelves, and packing products.
• Computer Work: Handling basic data entry and completing your online training and induction modules.
• Store Upkeep: Keeping the store looking its best by wiping shelves, sweeping, and organising stock.

What We Are Looking For:

• Previous customer service experience (even a little bit!) is a big plus.
• Basic computer skills to help you navigate the systems and online training.
• This is a physical role! You must be physically fit and able to lift, move, and sort stock weighing 5–10kg unaided.
• A positive, willing-to-learn attitude and the ability to keep up when the store gets busy.

Why Apply?
