Unfortunately, we’re not able to offer sponsorship for our Graduate Scheme. If you are applying, you must be able to demonstrate your right to live and work in the UK on a full-time basis. The UK Border Agency can offer you more advice about working in the UK as a non-EEU national. If you’re successful in reaching the assessment centre, you’ll need to provide your original passport, or other original documentation proving your eligibility to work in the UK.
All our opportunities can be found within our Current Vacancies. You can also follow us on LinkedIn.
When you click to apply, you’ll be asked to complete a couple of very short questionnaires to capture your skill set and ensure you meet the minimum requirements of the graduate scheme. You’ll then complete an online application form. If you’re successful at this stage, we'll invite you to complete some behavioural testing.
We hold various Graduate inductions throughout the year. The available dates would be discussed with you at offer stage.
You’ll need a 2:2 or above and we’ll accept any discipline.
You’ll need a full valid EU driving licence and previous work experience under your belt – that’s essential. It doesn’t have to be selling cars, just experience of working with customers.
This is an incredibly clear, focused and purposeful Graduate Programme which is split up into three stages. You’ll be reviewed at each stage and have the opportunity to progress to the next level.
We have graduate opportunities available at dealerships across the South East, Yorkshire/Humberside, North East, North West and the Midlands. When you apply online you will be asked to indicate which region you would prefer to be based in. Specific preferences will be discussed at interview stage. Please note it is imperative that you demonstrate flexibility with regards to location as we cannot guarantee which dealership will have the demand for a graduate at any given time. We want to base you in a retailer which will maximise your potential to excel!
We do not accept multiple applications, so please only select your preferred region.
Yes we do offer financial support. We’ll talk this through with you on a case-by-case basis.
We offer a great rewards package including a competitive salary, car and bonus scheme, pension, generous holiday allowances and other added extras such as new and used car purchase deals, childcare vouchers, healthcare cash plan and much, much more!
There are various start dates throughout the year for each region. It’s best to keep an eye on our careers website for those all-important closing dates as you wouldn’t want to miss out, and early applications are highly recommended. If you do miss one of our start dates, we’ll hold your application and let you know when new dates are available.
We’ll be visiting universities during Spring and Autumn to exhibit at Careers Fairs, and we also run various workshops at targeted universities.

Unfortunately we do not cover travel expenses.
As you can imagine we receive hundreds of applications throughout the year, therefore please be aware that it could take us up to three weeks for each stage to be completed. We really appreciate your patience at this time and you will be informed of your application status as soon as possible.
