About Proclense

Proclense has been delivering valeting, dealership services, and logistical solutions to the automotive retail sector since 1989. Trusted by some of the UK's most prominent dealership groups including Lookers, Group 1 Auto, and Steven Eagell. We've built our reputation on consistency, professionalism, and genuine partnership.

Our approach is founded on a core principle: we are not merely a provider of manpower, but a strategic partner, positioned to operate as an extension of our clients' teams.

The Role

We are looking for a driven, organised, and people-focused Account Manager to join our management team. You will take full ownership of the operational management of multiple dealership sites across the Northeast or Scotland, ensuring every site runs to the high standards Proclense is known for.

This is a hands-on, varied role that combines people management, client relationship building, compliance oversight, and operational coordination.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Manpower Planning: Ensuring each site is always resourced with the right number of skilled valeting operators to meet workload demands.
  • Recruitment, Retention & Development: Attracting, onboarding, and developing valeting operators.
  • Supplies & Equipment Management: Maintaining appropriate stock levels of equipment, materials, and chemicals across all sites.
  • Health & Safety Compliance: Monitoring and ensuring full compliance with Health & Safety and COSHH regulations at all times.
  • Site Visits & Quality Checks: Conducting regular, structured site visits and quality audits.
  • Client Liaison: Building strong relationships with dealership management, giving and receiving performance feedback, and responding swiftly and effectively to any issues raised.
  • Team Collaboration: Working with and supporting fellow field colleagues to ensure consistency across the business.
  • Business Intelligence: Keeping Proclense's management team and head office informed of developments, news, and potential new business opportunities within your area.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
