Job Description

Motor Vehicle Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the South West

Start date: 30 September 2026

Are you an experienced motor vehicle technician ready to pass your skills on to the next generation of automotive professionals?

About the Role

We're recruiting a Motor Vehicle Lecturer to join a further education provider in the South West. You'll deliver practical workshop sessions and the theory that underpins them, bringing your trade experience into your teaching and helping learners build the skills and confidence to progress into employment or an apprenticeship.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging practical and classroom-based motor vehicle sessions.
  • Assessing learners' work and giving clear, constructive feedback against assessment criteria.
  • Monitoring progress and putting support in place where learners need it.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and progress.
  • Creating a safe, inclusive learning environment in which every learner is challenged and supported.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in motor vehicle or a closely related discipline
  • Occupational experience gained in the motor vehicle industry
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching or assessing in a further education setting

If you're new to teaching, that's no barrier — you'll be supported to gain a recognised teaching qualification alongside the role.

Drive the Next Generation Forward

If you're ready to turn your industry experience into a teaching career, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to gain recognised teaching qualification
