Motor Vehicle Tutor – Alternative Provision

We are currently recruiting for a Motor Vehicle Tutor to support learners within an Alternative Provision setting. This is a highly rewarding opportunity to work with young people who require a more practical, engaging approach to education.
 
This role is ideal for someone with hands-on mechanical experience who is confident working with disengaged students and can bring learning to life through practical delivery.
 
The Role

The role will involve:

Delivering practical, workshop-based sessions (e.g. small engines, basic mechanics, maintenance tasks)
Supporting learners on a 1:1 or small group basis
Building positive relationships with students who may be disengaged from mainstream education
Encouraging attendance, engagement and confidence through hands-on learning
Supporting personal development, employability skills and progression pathways
Working collaboratively with pastoral and support staff
