Job Description

Motor Vehicle Lecturer

Permanent

Location: the South West

Salary: £35,000- £40,000 per annum

Are you an experienced motor vehicle professional looking to inspire the next generation of technicians? No teaching qualification? No problem, full training and support is available to help you become a qualified teacher.

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider to deliver motor vehicle programmes, bringing your hands-on trade experience into the classroom and workshop to help learners build the practical skills and knowledge they need for a career in the sector.

No previous teaching experience is needed. If you have a strong background in motor vehicle maintenance, repair or a related trade, you'll be supported to develop as a teacher through mentoring and access to a teaching qualification.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging practical and theory sessions across motor vehicle qualifications.
  • Assessing learner progress and providing constructive feedback to support achievement.
  • Preparing learners for industry-recognised assessments and examinations.
  • Maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop environment in line with health and safety requirements.
  • Keeping up to date with developments in automotive technology and incorporating these into teaching.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Substantial industry experience in motor vehicle maintenance, repair or a related trade
  • A relevant vocational qualification in motor vehicle studies (such as a Level 3 qualification)
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to motivate and engage learners
  • A commitment to safe working practices in a workshop environment

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification (such as a PGCE, DET or PTLLS), or a willingness to work towards one
  • Experience assessing learners against vocational standards
  • Up-to-date knowledge of current automotive technology and industry practice

Drive the Next Generation Forward

If you're ready to share your trade expertise and help shape the next generation of motor vehicle technicians, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Full training and support to become a qualified teacher
  • Mentoring support
  • Access to teaching qualification
