Workshop Manager in Cambridge

The Vindis Group is seeking to appoint a Workshop Manager to join its team. As one of approximately 700 team members, you will demonstrate the behaviours that the Vindis Group knows are integral to its continued success. We are passionate about our Company's heritage, its future, our loyal customers and our valued employees; and we believe in embracing the potential of our business in a positive and objective way. We strive to maintain high standards in every area of our business; and do so by engaging with our employees and customers in an open, transparent and consultative manner.

Our employees demonstrate, on a daily basis, the personal discipline and energy to uphold these standards; and, collectively, are motivated to achieve personal and business success. Cherishing Customers is core to our ethos and, as such, you will understand and be able to demonstrate how to truly embrace customer service excellence; and will apply this knowledge effectively and consistently - whether individually, or by supporting a team environment.

In return, you will be joining a long-established organisation that has continued to expand and evolve. At the heart of our company is a belief in Progressive Leadership and Valuing Employees; and we provide a multitude of platforms and opportunities to support our team members in being the best versions of themselves. In particular, we offer three levels of Leadership Development Programmes, all of which are accredited by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI); a designated Training Centre, complete with comprehensive Internal Training Prospectus; and access to the Volkswagen Group UK's National Learning Centre.

• An Employee Car Scheme, following a qualifying period. This will provide you with an opportunity to love our brand products as much as we do and drive them at affordable prices.
• A Life Assurance policy, at no cost to yourself.
• 24/7 access to our Employee Assistance Programme. This is in conjunction with our SpeakAware campaign, which focuses on employee wellbeing and positive mental health.

Key Role Responsibilities:

• Leading your department in a clear, considered and appropriate manner, in line with the Vindis Vision, and building an accountable and progressive business unit.
• Ensuring that the Workshop Team has a clear understanding of the performance of the department and the wider business.
• Implementing a robust approach for ensuring that employees have visibility of daily objectives, and that progress is updated appropriately throughout the day.
