The Road Safety Team are keen to recruit additional Bikeability Instructors to join our team delivering Bikeability training to schools within the Borough. Children are offered training through junior and secondary schools and this is the largest area of work. We are therefore looking for anyone with an interest in cycling who has a good rapport with children of all ages.

Previous experience is not required as full training will be given; however applicants should hold a nationally recognised instructor cycle training qualification or be able to obtain this within a reasonable period of time.

Appointments will be made on a casual basis and most of the courses run school term time only within school hours.

When allocated work, instructors may choose convenient days on which to work, however you must be available for at least two days per week and be able to honour the same days each week for approximately five weeks, to ensure continuity for children undertaking level 1 or 2 training and meet the needs of the service.

This post requires an Enhanced DBS Adults & Children barred check.

• Access to a wide range of training, learning and development
