Aftersales Specialist - Fixed-Term Contract (Maternity Cover)
We are currently looking for an experienced Aftersales Specialist to join our team on a fixed-term basis to provide maternity cover within our Aftersales division in Burntwood. The contract is expected to last for up to 12 months; however, it may end earlier or be extended depending on business needs and the return of the substantive postholder.
The successful candidate must have a proven track record within an Aftersales / Motor Vehicle environment and an absolute understanding and passion for exceptional Customer Service. We focus on employing the very best staff who can display excellent customer satisfaction, whilst making every contact with our company a great experience to ensure a long-lasting relationship.
The Aftersales Specialist role requires someone who is well organised, has a strong attention to detail, is customer focused and who is confident in a busy working environment. Full product training will be given but prior knowledge of any of our brands would be advantageous. In exchange, you can expect a friendly working environment, a supporting team and benefits commensurate with an organisation of this scale.
