A Halfords Mobile Expert Team Leader is a critical support to both colleagues and customers. With experience as a Technician already, this is an opportunity to take your career to the next level, supporting a team in delivering excellence to our customers.

Key Responsibilities

Our Mobile Expert teams prepare their van at the Hub for the day ahead, then take to the road to deliver our service at our customers’ homes and workplaces. Your role is to provide management to the team to enable them to complete every job on the route to a high standard, providing technical guidance throughout the day. You'll be responsible for taking in tyre deliveries following a set process, and – if on a late shift – ensuring all Technicians arrive back at the Hub safely with all evening tasks completed to process.

You will work 16 shifts within a four week month on a bi‑weekly rota, based on a weekend on, weekend off shift pattern. 4 days during each week starting at 06:45 and finishing at 18:45.

For success in this role you'll need to be highly organised and a great communicator, as you'll be helping our mobile team deliver in the field to the highest standards of quality and time‑efficiency. You'll need first class communication skills and will know how to get the best out of a team and run the site in the absence of the Hub Manager.

This role is varied, including customer facing and technical elements, alongside the field management and training of the team. The safety of our colleagues and customers is critical, so you'll ensure both the site and vans are a safe environment, performing repairs on our vans, training all new colleagues to standard and complying with all Health and Safety protocols.

Qualifications

You will have the following skills and experience:

• Evidence of delivering a great customer experience
• Experience in a Technician role, completing jobs to the correct technical standard and within the allotted time
• Experience of delivering coaching/training in the moment
• A track record of success in delivering against targets and customer metrics
• Experience of meeting compliance standards across health and safety
• IT proficient, with the aptitude to learn in‑house systems
• A full valid driving licence held for a minimum of 12 months

All tools, equipment and uniform provided. A van and tools are provided for use during shifts, and kept at the site when not on duty.

Benefits

We know that everyone has different priorities at different stages of their lives, so we offer a wide range of rewards and benefits. As well as holiday and contributory company pension, you can expect to enjoy:

• Store discount, with 25% off most products across Halfords and Tredz
• Employee discount, with up to 50% off your garage bills at Halfords Autocentre
• Discount on Halfords Breakdown Cover, with bike cover as standard for all annual policies
• Discounts on everything from groceries and shopping through to holidays, insurance, days out, restaurants and more
• Employee wellness programme offering free, independent, confidential support and counselling 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• Fantastic Trade Price Bike Scheme – buy one bike per year from a range of bikes which have been significantly reduced
• Life assurance
• Uniform
• Option to join our Sharesave scheme: save to purchase shares at a 20% discount
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Wagestream – a financial planning app that gives you more control over your pay. Access up to 30% of your pay as you earn it and save automatically from your salary to build a rainy‑day fund for the future
• Health Cash Plan – claim cash back towards your healthcare costs and get access to health and well‑being services
