The role

Our Apprenticeships are the most sought-after in the sector. And it’s not just us saying that – Ofsted has graded our apprenticeships as ‘outstanding’ in every area.

Based at one of our fully equipped centres you’ll be a valuable member of the team, working a regular 39 hours with two days off per week being supported by the best in the business. You will learn new auto-care skills and all about the special brand of teambuilding and customer service that makes us everyday heroes in the communities we serve.

Once you’ve achieved your apprenticeship at the end of a 27-month program (24-month programme in Scotland and Wales), you’ll become a fully-fledged Tyre Pro technician with a guaranteed job.

You’ll be:

We want you to take on board the things that make our team special – our attentive customer service and our unique team spirit. Making it as a Tyre Pros technician isn’t easy, but with the right attitude and respect for the work we do here, you’ll quickly find yourself on track for a great career progression with one of the best businesses in the automotive industry.

Benefits

All training costs including travel, hotel, breakfast and evening meal will be covered, so there’s no cost to you.

Your development doesn’t stop once you’ve achieved your Apprenticeship. With a guaranteed position at the end of your Apprenticeship, you can access more training within Tyre Pro providing you with opportunities for even greater career progression.
