The Role
We're looking for an organised, friendly and capable Bodyshop Controller to take charge of the day-to-day running of our front office and keep work flowing smoothly through the shop.

- Raising invoices, processing payments and keeping the back office organised
- Liaising with insurers, engineers and work providers, and managing the courtesy car fleet
- Keeping the workshop schedule flowing and supporting the Bodyshop Manager day to day
What We're Looking For
- Solid experience in an accident repair or bodyshop environment
- Confident using Audatex for estimating and Autoflow for workflow and bookings
- VDA / IMI ATA accreditation is a real plus, though not essential
- A natural organiser who's great with customers and calm under pressure
- Comfortable ordering parts, managing suppliers and handling everyday admin
What We Offer
- A genuinely friendly, family-run business where staff are valued and looked after
- A competitive salary, reviewed regularly
