Vehicle Damage Assessor Apprenticeship

Starting Salary – £22,050

Develop Your Career

An apprenticeship with Direct Line Group will help you grow your career while working towards a qualification at the same time.

The vehicle repair industry is evolving, and we're looking for people to join our team to help shape its future.

We're searching for Vehicle Damage Assessor Apprentices to join our team on a 2-year programme in our DLG Centre in Aldershot. During the apprenticeship, you will study towards a Level 4 Vehicle Damage Assessor Apprenticeship in partnership with a leading training provider.

About Us:

With a network of body shops across the UK, and 90,000 accident-damaged vehicles passing through our garages every year, we're bringing together sustainable, advanced tech and compassionate customer service to ensure our services stay ahead of the game.

At Direct Line Group 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.

What We're Looking For

  • You'll need to have or be predicted an A*-G (9-1) GCSE (or equivalent) in Maths and English, which you'll need to be able to evidence.
  • You need to have lived in the UK for the last 3 years.
  • You will also have at least a Level 2 qualification in Vehicle Repair/MET or have at least 2 years' experience working in the vehicle maintenance/mechanical/body repair sector.
  • We're also looking for an eagerness to learn and embrace change, the ability to meet deadlines, and a talent for attention to detail.

What You'll Be Doing

As a VDA Apprentice, you'll be able to:

  • Appraise a damaged vehicle and identify and record damage, including impact zone and severity.
  • Access industry vehicle repair methods and apply them appropriately.
  • Interpret and accurately apply estimating software systems.
  • Using relevant Health and Safety measures to get the vehicle back to pre-accident condition in line with Audatex estimates and our own high standards at Direct Line Group Auto Services.
  • Along with your standard duties, you will have off-the-job learning through our training partners.

What We'll Give You in Return

We offer excellent benefits to suit your lifestyle and a flexible working model combining the best parts of home and office-working, varying with the nature of your role. Core benefits include:

  • 9% employer-contributed pension.
  • 50% off home, motor, and pet insurance, plus free travel insurance and Green Flag breakdown cover.
  • 22 days holiday (rising by 1 each year to 25) + bank holidays and option to buy or sell up to 5 days.
  • Additional optional Health and Dental insurance.
  • Employee discounts and cashback.
  • Plus many more.

Ways of Working:

All of our Auto Services Apprenticeships are 100% site-based, and you would be expected to be able to work from your home site 5 days per week. Hours and shifts can vary depending on your site location but will often include an early start.

We recognise and embrace people who work in different ways, so if you need any reasonable adjustments within this recruitment process, please reach out to us and we can discuss how we can support you with this.

Hours – 40 per week

Location – Unit 5 Blackwater Valley Industrial Park, Holder Road, Aldershot, Hampshire, GU12 4PQ

There's no-one else like you.

As part of a team of brilliant individuals, in a place that empowers you to be the best you can be. We're proud of who we are, of what we do, and what every single one of us brings.
