JLR Parts Advisor Apprentice - Vertu Land Rover Taunton
Role
The JLR retail apprenticeship programme is geared toward training the right candidate to become a qualified Parts Advisor. But what does a Parts Advisor 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.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking individual to join our team and embark on a long term career, with excellent earning and progression opportunities once you complete your apprenticeship.
Customers may include members of the public, service departments of retailers, and garages.
Please note, the Parts Advisor role varies slightly by employer based upon the specific needs within the location.
As a central point of contact for both of our internal and external customers you will need to have excellent communication skills. You should be IT literate (although full training will be provided) and be able to demonstrate attention to detail in the way you work.
Application numbers for the JLR retail apprenticeship programme are high so we're looking for you to demonstrate why you stand out from the crowd. We're not looking for the finished article; rather we want to identify those people that are ambitious and demonstrate a willingness to learn, who are excited by the prospect of working with our fantastic, technologically advanced vehicles and really engage in the recruitment process. Key personal skills to demonstrate include:
· A willingness to learn
· Teamwork
· Quality focus
· Personal responsibility and resilience
· Problem solving
Training
As well as employment in our retailer, you will be given the training and support you need to develop both personally and professionally.
Using a combination of classroom-based training, e-learning, practical training, and application of learning, you will be guided by your trainers and personal mentor along the road to success.
This apprenticeship combines off-the-job training with on-the-job learning, and you will be supported every step of the way. On successful completion of the 17 months programme, you will receive the following:
· Level 2 Retailer Apprenticeship
· JLR specific certifications
There are lots of opportunities to develop your career within our expanding Retailer Network. Once qualified, the earning potential for a Parts Assistant is in excess of £20,000, so it is well worth considering the future opportunities that lay beyond the apprenticeship.
