If you’re interested in being a National Standards Cycling Instructor and working with us, you can get in touch and we’ll keep your details for future reference.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We require that all our instructors have a current and valid CRB Enhanced Disclosure certificate and pass the quite demanding and rigorous National Standards Cycling Instructors training course.
We also regularly observe and assess our instructors when they’re training, and sometimes ask our instructors to observe each other and feed back to each other to keep our standards as high as they can be.
We are currently recruiting:
- Instructors in Merseyside, Hampshire and Southampton to start in September 2010
We are still recruiting Cycling Instructors to deliver training in Merseyside, and Hampshire & Southampton (South Coast).
Please complete and return the application form (see below) appropriate for the area you want to work in.
Also, we are increasingly being asked to provide training to areas other than those where we currently have contracts, if you are interested in providing training for us elsewhere, whether you are currently qualified or not, we would be interested in hearing from you. However, if you’re currently qualified to deliver National Standards training, you will still need to undergo our extensive induction process to be able to deliver our National Standard scheme.
The broad responsibilities of a Cycling Solutions Cycle Training Instructor include:
- Teaching children and adults all levels of the National Standards Cyclist Training, though the bulk of the work for these posts will be teaching Level 2 standard to school children.
- Delivery of other cycling-related activities, including maintenance sessions, leading cycle rides, assisting in the training of new instructors and peer support of other instructors and supporting other work related to the promotion of cycling specifically and sustainable transport in general.
Successful applications will be given full training and mentoring under the Bikeability Scheme and are required to pass the National Standards Cycling Instructors course, and obtain a clear Enhanced CRB Disclosure.
NOTE: We offer the required training and CRB check free to potential recruits.
If you’re interested in applying you’ll need to:
- Download the information pack and application form in the best format for you (see below).
- Read it carefully and, only if you honestly believe you’re suited to the post, you should…
- Fill it in and return it to us (before any given closing date).
We’ll let you know what we’re doing with your form and, should you be interviewed, you will need to demonstrate that you’re already a good cyclist who is comfortable and competent in current urban traffic conditions and that you know and keep to all relevant traffic laws and regulations.
