In this role, you’ll be the driving force behind your branch, leading your team, shaping performance and building strong relationships with customers. You’ll create a safe, positive environment where your team can thrive and where customers receive outstanding service every time.

In return, we offer a competitive package and the opportunity to build a long-term career with us. Our package includes:

• Competitive salary
• Bonus scheme
• Company car (where applicable)
• Generous holiday allowance
• A great range of benefits
