Operational Support Manager Required in Haywards Heath
  • Salary: £40,000 DOE – Pro Rata
  • Hours: 4 Days Per Week, Full-Time Permanent (Flexible Days, Monday–Friday)
We are currently working with a highly respected, expanding automotive dealership group based in Haywards Heath. Our client is seeking a knowledgeable and grounded Operational Support Manager with a strong background in the motor trade to support their growing business.

This is a rare opportunity for a well-rounded individual with hands-on dealership or parts trade experience to play a key role in the operational side of a successful site. If you’re someone with practical knowledge, excellent organisational skills, and a common-sense approach, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities for the Operational Support Manager Role:
  • Acting as a site lead and keyholder, responsible for overall site operations
  • Supporting with ongoing business improvements and facilities management
  • Managing health & safety requirements, coordinating with external providers
  • Overseeing routine site inspections (e.g., ramps, fire extinguishers, alarms)
  • Liaising with contractors (electricians, alarm companies, builders)
  • Handling insurance renewals and associated compliance matters
  • Collaborating with external HR and H&S providers (no final decisions required, but gathering information and keeping records updated)
  • Managing and coordinating site improvement projects – a good understanding of building works and facilities is key
Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • Previous experience in a main dealer, ideally in a senior parts, aftersales or management-level role
  • Strong automotive knowledge and a practical, solutions-focused mindset
  • Confident handling contractors, site issues, and operational logistics
  • Excellent communication and record-keeping skills
  • Comfortable working independently with support from the wider team
  • Preferably someone seeking a flexible 4-day working week, with one day remote as an option 
This role is perfect for someone looking to step into a versatile and trusted position within a growing, professional automotive environment. You’ll be a key part of helping the business continue its upward trajectory.
