📣 WE'RE GROWING — AND THERE'S ANOTHER CHAIR TO FILL AT TWIGGER!

We're looking for an experienced Senior Accountant / Client Manager to join our team here in Paignton.

👉 Take a look at the full vacancy and apply through Indeed here:
https://uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=299fe5fab59b458d

But rather than give you the usual recruitment spiel, here's what we're actually looking for...

Someone who knows their stuff, is good with people and can be trusted to get on with the job.

You might be ACA, ACCA or AAT qualified. You might have built up years of experience working in practice without collecting a string of letters after your name.

Either is absolutely fine with us.

What matters more is that you're confident preparing and reviewing accounts, understand tax and VAT, can manage your own clients and deadlines and — importantly — can have a normal conversation with a business owner without making everything sound unnecessarily complicated.

You'll be working closely with Amy and the rest of our accounts team, looking after your own portfolio of clients and getting involved in everything from year-end accounts and tax returns to management accounts, forecasting and advisory work.

And as Twigger continues to grow, there's plenty of opportunity for the role to grow with it.

💷 £32,000–£40,000 depending on experience
📍 Paignton, Devon
🕐 Full-time, permanent
⏰ Flexitime
🏖️ 22 days holiday + bank holidays
🏥 Private medical insurance
💷 Company pension

We're a small, friendly team and we'd quite like to keep it that way.

No stuffy accountancy-firm atmosphere. No corporate nonsense. Just good people doing good work for businesses we actually get to know.

Sound like somewhere you'd fit?

And even if it's not for you, we'd really appreciate a share or tag if you know a brilliant accountant who might be ready for their next move. 👇

🚗 WE'RE HIRING – RENTAL AGENT 🚗

Rental Agent – Torquay / Totnes
£30,250 per year + up to £2,400 performance bonus

Full-time | Permanent | Starting October 2026

Simple Car & Van Rental is growing, and we're looking for a friendly, reliable and customer-focused person to join our team.

This isn't your typical office job. You'll be dealing with customers, cars and vans every day, and you'll play an important part in making sure our customers have a great experience.

What you'll be doing

You'll be involved in all aspects of the rental operation, including:

🚗 Customer vehicle collections and returns
🔑 Vehicle handovers and rental agreements
📸 Vehicle condition and damage checks
📞 Answering calls and dealing with enquiries
💻 Processing bookings
🧽 Helping keep vehicles clean and ready for customers
🚐 Moving vehicles between our local locations
🚉 Supporting our meet & greet service in Exeter
💬 Providing great customer service
💷 Introducing customers to relevant additional products and services
🤝 Working with the team to keep everything running smoothly

You'll need to be happy getting stuck in - one minute you could be handing over a car to a customer, the next you could be moving vehicles around the fleet.

👤 Who we're looking for

We're more interested in your attitude and personality than whether you've worked in car rental before.

You'll be:

Friendly and approachable
Reliable and punctual
Comfortable talking to customers
Organised and good with details
Confident using Tech
Happy working indoors and outdoors
Comfortable driving cars and vans
Calm under pressure
A team player who gets things done

A full UK driving licence is essential.

Experience in car rental, vehicle hire, hospitality, retail, travel or customer service is useful - but full training will be provided.

💷 What you'll get

£30,250 basic salary

Plus up to £200 per month performance bonus — giving you the opportunity to earn up to £32,650 per year.

You'll also receive:

28 days' holiday including bank holidays
Employee healthcare benefit
Staff vehicle rental benefits
Full training
Friendly, family-run working environment
Opportunity to progress as the business grows

🕐 Working hours

Monday–Friday: 08:30–17:30

Plus alternate Saturdays: 08:30–13:00

The position will be based at either our Torquay or Totnes location, depending on the successful candidate and business requirements.

❤️ Who are we?

We're Simple Car & Van Rental — a growing, family-run local rental company operating across South Devon.

We're not interested in being just another car rental company.

We want to make renting a car or van simple.

That's why we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and takes pride in doing a job properly.

📩 Interested?

If this sounds like you, send us your CV and tell us a little about yourself and why you'd like to join Simple Car & Van Rental.

Start date: October 2026

We'd love to hear from you.
