Job description

Vertu Ford Stafford and Vertu Ford Crewe

Do you want to become part of one of the UK's largest motor retailers? We are currently recruiting for an Accountant to join us working between two of our amazing dealerships, Vertu Ford Stafford and Vertu Ford Crewe.

We are offering a fantastic salary up to £50,000 depending upon expereince, plus company benefits including a company car, so don't miss this opportunity.

Our Accountants are expected to be the best in the industry and as a successful and growing business, we make no apologies for being highly selective in the calibre of new Accountants joining our business.

Our Dealership Accountants are key to the success of our businesses. We are looking for somebody with motor industry experience and fantastic leadership qualities. Ideally you will be able to demonstrate a good working knowledge of Kerridge Accountancy software.

You will possess excellent numerical, organisational and communication skills. We are a learning organisation and we want our new Accountant to be engaged with the active coaching and mentoring of their team to instill a learning culture within the business.

Compliance & Values

As a values-driven business, it is essential that our management team consistently demonstrate behaviours that deliver positive outcomes for our customers. You will be expected to act in good faith at all times, setting the standard within your dealership and operating in a customer-centric environment where integrity is key.

You will play a key role in driving a culture of responsible business practices, ensuring we deliver the right products and services to meet our customers' needs, protect them from harm, and encourage long-term loyalty. Building trust and acting with integrity at all times is fundamental to this role.

To protect our customers and our reputation, successful candidates will be required to undertake a DBS check, along with regular fit and proper person assessments. We will also request references from previous employers as part of our pre-employment checks.

We are proud to be the Motor Retailer who invests more in our colleague's personal development than any other, so if you are successful, you can look forward to on-going training opportunities that provide you with the right career path, career progression and a range of benefits you would expect from an employer of choice which includes:

• 25 days holiday rising with length of service - plus bank holidays
• Access to our online rewards platform giving you cash back and discounts for multiple retailers
• Preferential Service Rates
• Colleague Purchase Scheme
• Share Incentive Scheme
• Pension
• Enhanced Maternity and Paternity

This role does not meet the skill level requirements for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship under current UK immigration rules. As such, we are unable to consider applications requiring sponsorship, and successful candidates must already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK.

If your application is successful, we will need to complete employment checks prior to you starting with us. Your role will include us verifying your recent employment, credit history and a criminal record check.
