Life as a Team Leader with Northgate Vehicle Hire

Our branches are busy, fast-paced places to be and, as Team Leader, you are involved at the very heart of it. You are a key part of the Branch Management Team, co-ordinating the delivery and collection of vehicles to customers .

At heart, you're a people person and, whilst you may set expectations high, you love to nurture those around you. You have a real talent for creating productive, engaged teams where everyone works together to get things done well and on time. With your team of Customer Delivery Agents on board, it's over to you inspire the team and take ownership for the allocation and utilisation of the fleet at your site, getting the right vehicles to the right customers, just when they need it.

Being a successful Team Leader in branch is really about using your customer service know-how, talent for motivating others and your calm, 'can-do' attitude to get your team pulling in the same direction.

• free life assurance (2x your salary)
• well-being services (incl. 24/7 GP service, mental health support and physiotherapy + Health Cash Plan, Dental Plan & Travel Insurance)
• exclusive colleague-only vehicle-leasing schemes
• pension & save-as-you-earn share scheme
• Our Benefits App offering unlimited access to a huge range of retailer discounts and cashback deals (incl. Tesco, Asda, Currys, B&Q & Wickes to name just a few)
