Customer Service Apprenticeship

Let’s make the most of your talent

An apprenticeship with DLG will help you grow your career whilst working towards a qualification at the same time!

The future is exciting as the technologies used in Body Shops are evolving every day, which is really helping us re-shape the vehicle repair industry. That's why we're excited to grow our teams and looking for people to join us.

We’re searching for Customer Service Adviser Apprentices to join our team on a 2 year programme in our DLG Centre in Wakefield. During the apprenticeship, you will study towards a Level 2 Customer Service Specialist Apprenticeship in partnership with a leading training provider.

About Us:

With a network of body shops that spans the length and breadth of the UK, and 90,000 accident damaged vehicles passing through our garages every year, here at DLG Auto Services, we don’t do things by halves. We’re bringing together sustainable, advanced tech and compassionate customer service to ensure our services stay ahead of the game. And we’re doing it for the good of motorists across the UK.

At DLG Auto Services, we have one goal – to get our customers back on the road as quickly and smoothly as possible. Vehicles keep us connected, and accidents can make getting from A to B that much harder. That’s why, across our 23 sites, we provide high-quality, efficient repair services so that our customers can do more of what they love.

What you’ll be doing:

Supporting our Motor Vehicle Repair Training program. Reporting into the Training Centre Manager, you will be part of a team focused on day-to-day running of an effective state of the art technology centre.

Training Provided:

By becoming an apprentice at DLG, you’ll be able to combine on-the-job practical skills with theoretical knowledge from off-the-job learning, giving you the best opportunity to develop your career in the motor industry.

You will attend both online and face-to-face learning support sessions which will take place at our site. There is an End-Point-Assessment for this apprenticeship where you will be required to demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
