• Excellent rapport-building and communication skills
• Experience of delivering great face-to-face customer service ideally in a retail sales or automotive-based environment
• A track record of achieving exceptional results against sales targets, through converting conversations into opportunities
• Experience of supervising and coaching others
• A keen interest in or experience of working with motoring products/services

• Store discount, with 25% off most products across Halfords and Tredz
• Employee discount, with up to 60% off your garage bills at Halfords Autocentre
• Discount on Halfords Breakdown Cover, with bike cover as standard for all annual policies
• Discounts on everything from groceries and shopping through to holidays, insurance, days out, restaurants, and more
• Employee wellness programme offering free, independent, confidential support and counselling 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• Fantastic Trade Price Bike Scheme - buy one bike per year from a range of bikes which have been significantly reduced
• Life insurance
• Uniform
• Option to join our Sharesave scheme: save to purchase shares at a 20% discount
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Wagestream – a financial planning app that gives you more control over your pay. Access up to 30% of your pay as you earn it and save automatically from your salary to build a rainy-day fund for the future
• Health Cash Plan - claim cash back towards your healthcare costs and get access to health and well-being services
