Location Penarth Road, Cardiff
Salary Competitive plus bonus
At Wessex Garages, we’ve been putting customers first and delivering excellence in automotive retail for over 35 years. With dealerships across South Wales and the South West of England, we proudly represent leading manufacturers including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, GWM and Mitsubishi. For these leading brands we supply new and used cars and vans, deliver after sales support and champion the Motability Scheme.

We’re proud to offer our customers and colleagues an experience built on Knowledge, Value, Transparency, and Trust — values that are at the heart of everything we do.

About the role

We’re looking for a Kia Trainee Sales Executive to join our friendly team at our Kia \- Penarth Road dealership in Cardiff. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to start their career in the motor industry, with full training and support provided from day one.

In this role, you’ll learn how to help customers find the right vehicle for their needs and guide them through the buying process. From greeting customers and answering questions to handing over the keys, you’ll be supported every step of the way. You’ll also be trained to introduce finance options, insurance products and paint protection in a clear and professional manner.

No previous experience is needed; our structured training programme will help you build confidence, product knowledge and sales skills at your own pace.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is friendly, enthusiastic and enjoys working with people. A positive attitude and a willingness to learn are far more important than previous sales experience.

You’ll be organised, keen to develop new skills and comfortable learning about our vehicles and products as you go. You’ll also be naturally motivated and proactive, with an interest in performing well in a role where earnings are linked to results. As you gain confidence and experience, you’ll have the opportunity to increase your earning potential through your sales performance.

Most importantly, you’ll be a team player who takes pride in offering great customer service and contributing to a supportive dealership environment.

Why join Wessex Garages?

We’re committed to supporting our people with a range of benefits designed to promote wellbeing, reward loyalty, and enhance your overall experience at work:

  • Holiday Allowance – Enjoy 22 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with extra days added the longer you stay with us.

  • Pension Scheme – We contribute to your future with company\-backed pension support.

  • Exclusive Employee Schemes – Take advantage of our discounted car purchase programme and Cycle to Work scheme after completing your probation.

  • Wellbeing Support – Through our partnership with *Menable*, a specialist service for the automotive sector, you’ll have free access to confidential coaching, wellbeing check ins, and referral support where needed.

  • Health Benefits – We provide complimentary eye tests and flu vaccination vouchers to help you stay healthy year\-round.

  • Event Perks – As proud sponsors of Bristol Bears Rugby we offer a limited number of free tickets to each game for our colleagues.
