Job description

Overview

Got a passion for all things motoring? You'll already have some experience of working with cars, either as a job or as a hobby, but more about that later. Your endless enthusiasm for all things car combined with your knack with customers is what will lead you to success in this role – you're delivering market‑leading standards of service.

Ideally, you already have experience in a retail or automotive/mechanic environment, but if you have practical skills and experience delivering fantastic customer service, we can help you with the rest. We invest heavily in training to give our colleagues skills to develop their careers, so whatever career path you want to follow and whatever pace you want to progress, we have the support here to help you make your ambitions a reality, whether it's in Retail or elsewhere in the Group.
