Its one of our main philosophies that individuals should take an active part in managing their own career.

Plotting a career path that's full of fascinating twists and turns, is part of the beauty of joining such a large and diverse business. However, we also make it our priority to shine a gleaming light on your qualities and give you the space and support you need to blossom.

Whatever point you join us at, you will find that we offer a variety of learning programmes ranging from NVQs to professional and chartered schemes. These will help you to build on your existing skills and support your future development within Ford.

Of course we’ll make it worthwhile for you. Salaries are competitive and dependnt on the job you come to do. Follow the link on how to apply to find out salary details for current vacancies. If you need to relocate, nationally or internationally, we can assist with expenses to a fixed amount. Once you have been with us for six months you will also be eligible to join one of the Company pension schemes; either the Ford Contributory Pension Fund or the Ford Stakeholder, Life and Disability Plan.

One of our most popular perks is the Privilege Car Scheme which means that you can purchase up to three Ford cars (plus one Volvo) at a discounted rate every nine months. There's also a nice surprise from our Employee Development Assistance Programme which offers you up to £200 to spend on activities outside working hours, which might be educational, training or health programmes.

Holidays are generous: at least 25 days each year to recharge your batteries and there are extensive sports and social facilities, including on-site gyms at most Ford locations.

We recognise that each of us has different demands placed on us throughout our working life. We’re proud to offer a range of policies to support employees’ work-life balance. These include a generous maternity package, paternity leave, tax relief on childcare expenses and a range of flexible working options.

You'll need some degree of UK mobility. The majority of locations are based in Essex, but there may also be opportunities in South Wales, Southampton and the Midlands either immediately or in the future.
