• A good knowledge of mechanics or automotive engineering (formal qualifications not required).
• A positive, patient, and encouraging approach to working with young people.

Desirable (But we can train you!)

• Experience supporting learners with SEMH needs.
• Familiarity with Functional Skills Maths and English.

We’re on the lookout for a passionate, practical, and positive individual to join our exciting alternative provision team. Delivered as part of a wider programme through TeamSport’s network of go karting tracks - this role is all about making a difference.

You’ll be employed by TeamSport and will be part of our Fast Forward Vocational team, who are our specialist training provider and part of the TeamSport family - a business driven by fun, energy, and making a real impact in our local communities.
