Looking for a career where your practical skills can change lives?

New Chapter Tuition is proud to be working exclusively with a specialist vocational education provision to recruit a Vocational Instructor to join their growing team in Coventry.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in mechanics, engineering, sports coaching, youth work, cadets, vocational training or behaviour mentoring to inspire young people through practical, hands-on learning.

You'll support learners from KS3–KS5 with SEMH, ADHD, SEND, emotional and behavioural needs, and those who have experienced trauma, helping them rebuild confidence, develop practical skills and achieve positive futures.

The Role

As a Vocational Instructor, you will:

  • Deliver engaging vocational learning on a 1:1 basis and in small groups of up to 8 learners.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with young people.
  • Support learners with SEMH, ADHD, SEND and additional needs.
  • Use effective de-escalation and positive behaviour management strategies.
  • Create a safe, structured and engaging learning environment.
  • Promote confidence, resilience and independence.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues and other professionals to support learner progress.
About You

This role would particularly suit candidates with experience as a:

  • Mechanic, Motor Vehicle Technician or Engineer
  • Vocational Instructor
  • Sports Coach
  • Youth Worker
  • Cadet Instructor or Armed Forces Instructor
  • Behaviour Mentor, Learning Mentor or Teaching Assistant

You'll also have:

  • Experience working with children and young people.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Experience supporting learners with SEMH, ADHD, SEND or challenging behaviour.
  • Strong de-escalation and behaviour management skills.
  • A trauma-informed, patient and resilient approach.
  • A genuine passion for helping young people succeed.

Previous experience delivering vocational or practical learning is advantageous but not essential. If you have transferable skills, a positive attitude and a desire to inspire young people, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer?
  • Salary: £21,731–£24,195.50, plus up to £2,500 annual performance bonus
  • Full-time, permanent role, term-time only
  • Training commencing on 24 August 2026
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Excellent career progression opportunities
  • Company pension
  • Staff wellbeing initiatives
  • Team celebrations and events
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
Why Join?

This is more than a Vocational Instructor role.

You'll become a mentor, role model and positive influence, helping young people overcome barriers, rediscover their confidence and develop the skills they need to succeed in education, employment and life.

If you're looking for a rewarding career where you can combine your practical experience with the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today with your CV to be considered for this exclusive opportunity.
