Full job description
Jaguar Land Rover is the UK's largest automotive manufacturer, built around two iconic British car brands: Land Rover, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium all-wheel- drive vehicles; and Jaguar, one of the world’s premier luxury sports saloon and sports car marques. The company employs almost 38,000 people globally and supports around 275,000 more through our retailers, suppliers and local businesses.

We recognise the importance in identifying talented people to become the next generation of professional retailer employees and help us achieve our ambitious growth plans. We are looking for people who share our passion to join our highly successful Retailer Apprenticeship programme.

The Apprenticeship Programme is geared toward training the right candidate to become a qualified Vehicle Parts Advisor. But what does a Vehicle Parts Advisor actually do?

Parts Advisors are responsible for ordering, selling and managing stock control on a wide range of vehicle parts and accessories. Duties may vary from employer to employer but will typically include:

· Advising customers on how to solve a problem with their vehicle

· Taking orders from customers both face to face and over the phone

· Maintaining an ordered stock room and finding parts from stock

· Raising invoices for parts sold

· Liaising with other members of staff

· Working alongside on-site Service Technicians to ensure they have the parts needed to complete their daily work

Customers may include members of the public, service departments of retailers, and garages.

Please note, the Vehicle Parts Advisor role varies slightly by employer based upon the specific needs within the location
