Motor Vehicle Instructor

As an Instructor at our brand new school, you'll get the opportunity to deliver training and development within your area of expertise which will inspire our young people. You’ll have superb leadership, specialist support and state-of-the-art-facilities, allowing you to focus on delivering an innovative and engaging teaching programme which will inspire our young people. Committed to fulfilling the potential of each and every one of our young people, no matter what their educational needs (including emotional and social difficulties, autistic spectrum conditions and speech and language communication difficulties), you share our belief that all young people are capable of achieving great things.

You will have on the job experience maintaining motor vehicles, and ideally a relevant teaching qualification or willingness to work towards completing one within two years.  You will develop work placement opportunities with local employers to help our young people put their skills into practice. Ideally, you’ll have experience of dealing with complex education needs, as you’ll need to connect with our young people – understanding what makes them unique and working to make a real difference to their social and emotional development. But none of this fazes you, as it’s what you’re passionate about and why you’ll fit right in.

Dovetree School is based on its own site, giving you the opportunity to set up your own classroom with state of the art learning resources. Students will be supported in small class sizes by well-qualified and experienced staff, who are able to inspire and encourage our young people to achieve great things. 

For children and young people with complex, challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond. That’s what drives us, here at Witherslack Group. We are a leading provider of specialist education and care for children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, communication difficulties, complex learning needs and challenging behaviours.
