Are you an experienced motor vehicle or HGV professional looking to share your expertise with the next generation of technicians?
About the Role
As a Motor Vehicle & HGV Lecturer, you'll deliver engaging, practical teaching that helps learners build the technical skills and underpinning knowledge they need to progress into the automotive and transport industries. You'll plan and prepare lessons that combine hands-on workshop practice with classroom theory, creating a learning environment where students can develop both competence and confidence.

Your responsibilities will include:
Planning and delivering practical and theory-based lessons in motor vehicle and HGV maintenance and repair.
Demonstrating industry-standard techniques and safe working practices in a workshop setting.
Assessing learner work and providing feedback that supports progression.
Preparing learners for practical assessments and industry-recognised qualifications.
Maintaining accurate records of learner attendance, progress and achievement.
