Are you a skilled Vehicle Technician with a passion for mechanics and the patience to guide young people who need a fresh start? Can you use your trade to build confidence and create real-world opportunities?
Randstad is proud to partner with a specialist school in Bolton seeking an inspiring Motor Vehicle Tutor. This is a unique opportunity to step away from the commercial garage and make a profound difference.
About the Role
You'll be working with pupils whose primary need is Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. Our students often have complex needs, including ADHD, ASD, and attachment disorders, and each has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
The school's mission is to provide a "fresh start," helping pupils manage their emotions and build the self-esteem, resilience, and confidence they need for life beyond school. Your role isn't just about teaching mechanics; it's about using the tangible, engaging nature of motor vehicles to connect with and motivate students who have found traditional education challenging. You will be a mentor, a role model, and a key part of their journey to success.
Key Responsibilities
Deliver Engaging Sessions: Design and deliver practical, hands-on motor vehicle lessons for individuals and small groups (from 1:1 to 1:6).
Follow EHCP Plans: Create and adapt your sessions to meet the specific social, emotional, and educational targets outlined in each student's EHCP.
Manage the Workshop: Maintain a safe, supportive, and professional workshop environment, embedding the highest standards of Health & Safety.
Build Relationships: Develop meaningful relationships with students, using your expertise to encourage, motivate, and manage challenging behaviours constructively.
Assess and Report: Track student progress in both practical skills and personal development, recording attainment levels using our internal reporting system.
Collaborate for Success: Work closely with teachers, foster carers, and social workers to ensure every student receives the tailored support they need to thrive.
Safeguarding: Work in strict accordance with KCSIE guidelines to ensure the welfare of all pupils.
