This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanic or motor vehicle technician who wants to pass on their knowledge to the next generation of skilled workers.

Based at the Hull training centre in central Hull, the provision delivers practical, hands-on education to learners aged 14–19, many of whom thrive in non-traditional learning environments.

• Promote safety, structure, and positive learning behaviours.
• Work collaboratively with other vocational tutors and support staff.

Candidate Requirements:

• Background in motor vehicle mechanics, diagnostics, or servicing (Level 2/3 qualification desirable).
• Prior experience teaching or mentoring young people is an advantage, but not essential.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to motivate and support learners.
• A patient, resilient, and practical approach to working with students who may have additional learning needs.
• Commitment to safeguarding and a learner-centred approach.

What’s On Offer:

• A fulfilling opportunity to use your trade skills to shape young futures.
• A consistent work schedule – Monday to Friday, term time only (08:30–15:30).
• A supportive and welcoming team within a growing vocational education setting.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
