Hands-on support and guidance from every level, throughout your time on the programme. Sponsorship from people who have been there and done it before you. And a well-balanced combination of on-the-job learning and real-life project work. Not to mention the chance to help shape the future of a £billion organisation. These are just some of the things that set our Graduate Programme apart.

From day one, you’ll be expected to take real responsibility and make real decisions about real issues. Part of a small intake of graduates, you’ll embark on a series of placements across different areas of the business.  But you certainly won’t be on your own.  Throughout your time, you’ll be sponsored by one of our directors to ensure you’re getting the most out of the programme.

Our graduate programme will provide you with the foundations to build a successful career within Motability Operations.
 

You’ll start a six week induction by spending some time in our Customer Services department. Here you’ll learn how we operate and have the opportunity to speak to some of our 500,000 customers. After that we’ll make sure you get an overview of all our other departments – Fleet Technical, Vehicle Remarketing, Business Systems (IT), Asset Risk, Finance, HR, Marketing, Dealer Relations, Pricing, Manufacturer Relations and Legal.  Which means that by the end of the first six weeks you should have a much better idea of what’s what and who’s who.

Once we’re sure you’ve got a good feel for our work and our customers, it’s time to take a closer look at how we operate.

Placements

The duration of your placements are determined by the needs of the business and the opportunities available. Where you go for your first placement is generally down to you.    Each area and department as interesting and rewarding as the next.

Future placements are largely decided by your Sponsor, but of course we’ll always try to take your preferences into consideration. Most importantly we take into account your career aspirations and how the business can help you progress and develop.

We have two sites: one in London and one in Bristol.  Generally speaking, you’ll be based at one of these locations for the majority of the graduate programme.  However we encourage our graduates to spend a period of time working “away” at the other site where possible.

The opportunity to work in different areas of the business and across both locations provides a fantastic insight and understanding into the business as a whole. It also offers exceptional exposure which helps you to build relationships, develop knowledge and lay down the foundations to a highly successful and far-reaching career.

As well as on-the-job learning, we also offer a structured training programme which may include: Presentation Skills, and Communication & Assertiveness to name just a few.

We pride ourselves on offering continuous support and guidance - even our CEO and board directors play a huge role.  What’s more, everyone gets allocated a buddy who has previously been through the Programme. Your buddy can share their experiences and will be able to help you, offer guidance or even just point you in the right direction.
