About Motability Operations

What if your first role made an impact from day one – and helped change lives too?

Whether you're starting out, changing direction, or just looking for something that matters – you’re in the right place.

You might not have heard of us yet – but we’ve been making a difference in people’s lives for over 45 years.

If you have heard of us, you’ll know that a role with us means being part of something bigger – a purpose-led business that puts people first.

At Motability Operations, our customers are at the heart of every decision we make.

We exist to give disabled people greater independence and mobility – and that purpose drives everything we do.

Motability Operations is the UK’s largest car leasing business – but our impact goes beyond cars.

Through the Motability Scheme, we help over 860,000 disabled people across the UK lease a car, powered wheelchair, scooter or Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), using their mobility allowance – bringing more freedom and independence to everyday life.

We combine commercial thinking with deep social value. And we are proud to consistently score above nine out of ten for customer satisfaction.

We are also a major contributor to the UK car market, providing around 16% of all new cars. But our real success is measured by what we help people do every day – stay mobile, connected and in control.

We are not a typical business. Our purpose shapes everything – and our people are proud to be part of something that matters.

• 95% of our colleagues would recommend us as a great place to work
• We partner with more than 5,000 dealers nationwide
• We consistently outperform in customer satisfaction

We are here to create better experiences, better outcomes and better futures – for our customers and for the people who work with us.

“I remember finding Motability Operations on RateMyPlacement (Now known as Higherin). I didn’t know the company – imagine if I’d just scrolled past without reading it. I wouldn’t have applied, and I would’ve missed out on one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”

You might not know us yet either. That’s OK.

But if you are looking for meaningful work, and the kind of support that helps you grow – we think you’ll be glad you found us too.

Your future starts here

Whether you are applying for a placement or an apprenticeship, you will join a business that values learning, contribution and impact. You will be trusted to get involved and supported to grow.

We believe great teams are made of people with different backgrounds, perspectives and strengths. If you are curious, open to learning and ready to make a difference – we want to hear from you.

Our 12-month placement programme is not just an experience – it is a journey of transformation.

If you are someone who is curious, open to learning and wants to do work that matters – this could be for you.

The placement follows three clear pillars:

• Contribute – work on meaningful projects from day one
• Personal Development – build your confidence and skills through mentoring, live placement specific learning sessions and events – all shaped and tailored to support your growth and goals
• The Project – lead a challenge alongside other students that delivers real impact

You do not need to be the finished article – we will help you become the person you want to be.

The real magic of the programme is not just in the structure – it is in what you bring to it.

Yes, you will have opportunities for learning, mentorship and development.

But the moment that matters most is when you realise you are capable of more than you imagined – and have the courage to make it happen.

When students feel supported, encouraged and heard – they do not just gain experience.

They grow. They contribute. And they leave the programme better than they found it – and take something stronger with them.

Our apprenticeship programme

Earn while you learn in a role that gives you real responsibility, guided support and a path to progression. Whether you are leaving school, changing direction or starting fresh – our apprenticeships are built to help you grow.

Our apprenticeships follow three pillars too:

• Contribute – get involved from day one and play a real role in your team
• Personal Development – take part coaching and skills training with opportunity to tailor your development to fit your aspirations
• Qualification – work towards a recognised qualification, with support to apply what you are learning

You will be part of a team that believes in your potential, and a programme designed to help you build confidence, knowledge and career direction.

What we look for

We look for people who care – about learning, about doing good work, and about making things better.

You do not need a perfect CV. You do not need all the answers.

But if you are curious, open-minded and ready to grow, this could be the start of something big.
