Job Description
You'll play a key role in helping men develop practical skills, confidence and qualifications that support a positive future after release. Working in our purpose-built, Cytech-approved workshop, you'll teach cycle mechanics, support learners to achieve accredited Cytech qualifications, and guide them as they refurbish donated bicycles that are returned to the community.
As one of two tutors, you'll inspire and motivate learners, adapt your teaching to individual needs, monitor progress, maintain high workshop and safety standards, and work closely with prison staff, volunteers and the wider Life Cycle team. You'll also contribute to quality assurance, record learner outcomes, and help ensure every refurbished bike leaves the workshop safe and roadworthy.
The role is both rewarding and challenging, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds, but you'll be backed by an experienced team and have regular opportunities to share learning and best practice.
Benefits
- 40 days annual leave
- Professional development opportunities
- Free annual bike service
- Staff discount on refurbished bikes (or Cycle to Work scheme for a new bike)
Skills/Experience Required
You're an enthusiastic and skilled cycle mechanic who enjoys helping others learn and develop. You'll be able to build positive relationships with people from a wide range of backgrounds, motivate learners, and adapt your approach to meet individual needs.
You'll be organised, professional and confident working independently, with a commitment to maintaining high standards of safety, security and workshop practice. Most importantly, you'll share Life Cycle's passion for creating opportunities through cycling and be motivated by the chance to make a positive difference in people's lives.
Experience of working with challenging client groups, the cycle industry, or delivering recognised qualifications is desirable, as is a Cytech Technical Two, City & Guilds Level 2 or equivalent qualification.
