It doesn't matter if you've never worked in vehicle sales before. If you love meeting people, sharing your product or service knowledge and helping people make the right choices, then we'd love to hear from you.
Like many other sales and customer service positions, a role in vehicle sales is all about understanding the needs of customers and recommending specific products or services that match their requirements. At Hendy, we will help you become a true brand and product specialist, so you can guide customers along their journey to discovering their perfect vehicle, whether new or used.
We are offering much more flexible working hours to include 5 day working patterns, part-time opportunities and a maximum 8-hour working day. As for hard selling techniques these are also a thing of the past. Customers are now highly informed, creating a need for more personalised conversations. As a result, the role requires strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build relationships.
We want to hear from talented individuals who are passionate about what they do, want to feel empowered to do their best, have a desire to learn and want to be part of a successful growing business.
As a business we recognise the value in having colleagues from a variety of backgrounds, with different experiences and varied skills. This means the role requirements on our vacancies should be seen as a guide, not a checklist, and we would encourage you to apply for roles where you see your skills and competencies could align.
We can’t wait to hear from you!
At Hendy we are proud of the learning and development hub at Portsmouth. After creating our academy team in 2016, over the past 8 years we have successfully delivered workshops, coaching sessions, online learning and on the job experience. Moving to our Portsmouth hub has given us more advanced facilities, not just for the team but the colleague experience too.
Our industry is ever changing and evolving and providing learning & development opportunities for our colleagues ensures we stay ahead of this. Supporting our colleagues to develop their knowledge and continuously improve themselves is always on our agenda! Whether you're looking at a career in Parts, Sales or Service or thinking of apprenticeship to take your first steps not just into a job, but a career!
Having never worked in car sales before, Hendy has been absolutely fantastic in welcoming me into the business and giving me all the support and training I have needed to start and progress my career with them.
We have a range of benefits on offer to our colleagues, including annual leave that increases with service, company pension scheme, group life insurance and private health care. We have recently enhanced our maternity and paternity benefits and support our colleagues to ensure they can effectively balance their work and home life commitments. All colleagues have the opportunity to lease a new vehicle through our all-employee car scheme and for those eligible to a company car we partner with CBS solutions to provide a flexible car leasing scheme. We also offer a competitive finance rate on the purchase of a used car from Group stock, in addition to providing competitive rates on parts, tyres and servicing of vehicles for our colleagues.
As a Hendy colleague, you also have access to thousands of perks through Perks at Work with hundreds of big brand discounts, a wellness hub packed with expert lifestyle and fitness classes, and a premium rewards points system - all free for you to use.
Always on the lookout for talent, our colleagues can recommend a friend for employment at Hendy and receive up to £750...and if they recommend a friend to purchase a vehicle, they also receive a financial incentive.
Celebrating success and rewarding loyalty is underpinned by our Hendy values. Each month, we recognise excellence in customer service by awarding a member of the service advisor team for their great work. Our sales teams are incentivised and are eligible to take part in an incentive scheme that for the winners provides well deserved colleagues and their family an escape to an exotic luxury hide-away.
As testament to the loyalty of our colleagues, we are proud to say that we have over 5% of our colleagues who have worked with Hendy Group for over 25 years. Each year, we take our 25 year 'club' members and their partners on a day out. In recent years, this has included a day trip to the Isle of Wight, overnight accommodation, activities at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire, and a party at Hever Castle.
