Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service are inviting applications for the role of Driving Training Instructor. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced person to join #teamNorthumberland and take on an important role in supporting our staff to keep our residents safe and well.
Working within our Learning & Development department, the post holder will deliver or assist in the delivery of driver training programmes to meet statutory and individual development needs of all personnel, including but not exclusively:
· Initial licence acquisition of categories B, B+E, C, C1 & D1
· RTITB Plant Operator courses (Forklift, Hooklift, Winch)

We are looking for an individual holding the above licence categories, each for at least three years, with experience of instruction and advanced driving techniques.

Ideally applicants will have a comprehensive working knowledge of current road traffic legislation and the statutory responsibilities of a driver. They will need good written and verbal skills, interpersonal and organisational skills as well as being able to prioritise tasks and motivate themselves.
This post requires the individual to work for long periods with extended concentration and the ability to make risk-critical assessment decisions in difficult situations.
