About Us
At Novuna Vehicle Solutions, we're in an exciting phase of growth. As one of the UK's largest leasing companies, we support customers with the vehicles, funding, infrastructure and fleet management expertise they need to keep moving. We work across a diverse portfolio, from company car and salary sacrifice schemes through to complex, multi-asset fleets across cars, vans, HGVs and specialist assets. We also support personal leasing and SME customers through our established broker and dealer channels. With a 4.9 Trustpilot score and Distinction accreditation from The Institute of Customer Service, our Customer First culture is at the heart of how we help customers take control of today's fleet challenges while preparing for the future.
Role Overview
This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract.
What You'll Do
You'll be responsible for supporting our British Gas fleet and keeping vehicles moving. From the moment a van requires maintenance or repair through to getting it back on the road, you'll coordinate the full journey. You'll work closely with repairers, proactively managing progress, challenging delays and controlling costs to minimise downtime for our customers.

You're passionate about delivering a great customer experience, with a positive, can-do attitude and the confidence to challenge repairers when needed to get the best outcome for our customers. You'll be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of your workload, while also being a collaborative team player.
