Job description

Vertu Toyota Barnsley

Are you looking to change your career or looking for your next challenge in a supportive and people-first environment? At Vertu Toyota Barnsley, we’re looking for Car Sales Executive from retail, hospitality or other customer‑facing sales backgrounds who want to turn their people skills into a high‑earning, long‑term career.

Why this role?

• Competitive pay: Starting salary of £27,000 plus uncapped commission. Realistic on‑target earnings of £45,000 with top performers earning £60,000+
• Company car included as part of your package
• No experience? No problem! Full training and a structured onboarding programme are provided to set you up for success.

Work-life balance matters

• 40-hour work week (five 8-hour shifts).
• Most Saturdays are worked (our busiest day), but you’ll always get a weekday off.
• Sundays are yours — we’re closed, so you can truly recharge.

What You’ll Do

As a Sales Advisor, you’ll guide customers through their car‑buying journey from start to finish — welcoming them into the dealership, arranging and conducting test drives, and discussing vehicle, finance and accessory options.

You’ll take the time to understand each customer’s needs and match them with the right solution, building strong relationships that turn first‑time buyers into loyal, repeat customers. You’ll connect with customers in person, online, over the phone and via video, so confidence with technology and clear, friendly communication are essential.

Working to achievable targets, you’ll be supported by an experienced management team within a collaborative environment that values great service, rapport‑building and teamwork just as much as sales skills — which is why many of our top performers come from retail or hospitality backgrounds.

What We’re Looking For

• Have experience in retail, hospitality, leisure or customer‑facing sales
• Are confident, motivated and enjoy speaking to people
• Like working towards targets and being rewarded for success
• Want a career where effort is properly recognised
• A full driving licence (manual & automatic)

If you’re great with people, love delivering brilliant customer experiences and thrive in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment – you might have exactly what it takes to succeed in car sales.

What You’ll Get In Return

We believe in supporting our colleagues to grow and thrive, offering:

• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), increasing with service.
• Access to our online rewards platform with cashback and discounts.
• Preferential service rates & colleague purchase scheme.
• Share Incentive Scheme & pension.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
• Clear progression and long‑term career opportunities

We’re proud to invest more in colleague development than any other motor retailer, helping you build a career that works for you.

What Happens Next

If your application is successful, we will need to complete the usual employment checks prior to you starting with us. For this role, these can include us verifying your recent employment, address and credit history. We may also conduct a criminal record check and a driving licence check.
