About the role

An excellent opportunity has become available for a motivated Trainee Service Advisor to join our team at Sytner BMW Leicester.

You will be responsible for scheduling customer bookings, providing clear information, and ensuring every caller receives an exceptional level of service. These calls will form a part of your daily responsibilities and are essential to delivering a smooth customer journey.

Alongside this, you will support our Service Advisors to provide outstanding customer care and act as the vital link between our customers and the workshop.
