Salary: £34,000

About Our Client:

Our client is a leading provider of passenger transport training. They specialise in areas such as transport, business skills, and adult education, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality training programmes.

They are committed to the wellbeing of all learners and staff, and take safeguarding, safe recruitment, and their Prevent Duty responsibilities seriously.

Successful applicants will need to complete a DBS check and an online search. You’ll also need to provide proof of your qualifications and your right to work in the UK.

The company uses modern technology to support learning and training, which may include occasional audio and video recording as part of quality assurance.

With over 35 years of experience, the organisation has grown from its beginnings in Sheffield to more than 500 employees across the UK. They are proud to be part of the AQA charity group.

The Role:

Ready to step away from shift work and use your transport experience to help others grow? Our client is looking for experienced industry professionals to train the next generation of safe, reliable bus drivers. No teaching qualification is needed for the Transport Skills Trainer —just your expertise and the drive to support others.

As the Transport Skills Trainer you’ll lead structured sessions in the classroom and online, guiding apprentices as they prepare for their assessments. It’s a chance to stay connected to the industry while making a real difference in people’s careers.

• Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging, inclusive learning and development sessions (classroom and/or online)
• Tailor workshop content using learners’ initial assessment results
• Equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for their apprenticeship and future career
• Prepare and mark learner work, providing constructive feedback and tracking progress
• The Transport Skills Trainer will support learners in building their portfolio of evidence ready for End Point Assessment (EPA)
• Schedule and conduct timely learner reviews, gathering feedback from relevant stakeholders
• Liaise with employers to confirm attendance and coordinate operational requirements such as driver release
• Maintain accurate records and complete administrative tasks to ensure compliance
• Uphold high quality standards across all training activities
• Build positive, professional relationships with learners and employers to create a supportive learning environment

• Strong knowledge of bus driving standards, safety, and customer service excellence
