Once in a while an opportunity appears….Would you like to set your career on the right path by joining the best training programme in the industry?

This is a customer facing role, managing the relationship with BMW/MINI customers who have their vehicles serviced and repaired by us, however you will spend the first half of the training programme learning all of the back-of-house administrative processes that will equip you with a thorough understanding of every element of the customer journey.  This work will require a high degree of accuracy, so you must have excellent attention to detail.  You must be educated to A level standard or equivalent, have GCSE Maths, English and one other subject at grades A* to C/9-4, with an appetite for learning and a commitment to being a positive team player.
