Job Description

Instructor Technician in Motor Vehicle

Temporary | Contract

Location: the West Midlands

Are you an experienced motor vehicle technician looking to use your trade skills to support the next generation of automotive professionals?

About the Role

An opportunity has arisen for an Instructor Technician in Motor Vehicle to join a further education provider in the West Midlands. You'll work alongside lecturers to prepare and support practical sessions, drawing on your own industry experience to help learners build their skills in the workshop.

You'll keep the workshop, tools and equipment in good order and support the safe use of the facilities, while instructing, guiding and encouraging learners as they work through practical activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting lecturers with the preparation and delivery of practical motor vehicle sessions.
  • Instructing and assisting learners across different levels as they develop their technical skills.
  • Maintaining motor vehicle workshops, tools and equipment to a high standard.
  • Supporting the safe and effective use of workshop facilities.
  • Providing guidance and encouragement to learners during practical activities.
  • Helping ensure health and safety procedures are followed across the workshop.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A recognised motor vehicle qualification, such as a Level 3 or equivalent
  • Industry experience in motor vehicle maintenance and repair
  • Good practical and technical knowledge of vehicle systems
  • An enthusiasm for supporting and motivating learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous experience working in a training or education setting
  • An assessing or teaching qualification

Teaching experience isn't essential. If you're new to education, you'll be supported as you move from industry into a learning environment.

Drive the Next Generation Forward

If you're ready to pass on your trade skills and help learners become industry-ready technicians, we'd love to hear from you.
