  • Maintaining tools and equipment in safe, good working order.
  • Managing stock and consumables for the workshop.
  • Maintaining high standards of health and safety in the workshop.

  • Industry experience you can draw on in the workshop
  • A sound understanding of workshop health and safety
  • The ability to support and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous experience of working in a further education or training environment

If you're ready to bring your automotive experience into a workshop full of future technicians, we'd love to hear from you.
