Can you support the next generation of fire engine drivers?
Do you want to work for an organisation which makes a difference?
South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue wants current, approved driving instructors (ADI) who have held their LGV/CAT C license for a minimum of three years to join its crucial and high-performing Driver Training Team.
Your role will be to train staff in driving a range of frontline vehicles from fire engines (using blue lights and sirens) to the safe operating of support vehicles such as fork lift trucks.
Ideally, you’ll have experience of emergency response, blue-light driving - but it’s not essential.
Working within our existing experienced Driver Training team, you will play an active role in developing novice and experienced drivers to a high standard of competency.
You’ll need to display high-levels of integrity and flexibility, demonstrate evidence of developing driver skills across a range of vehicles through one-to-one tuition and supporting training material. You’ll be training in everything from fork lift trucks and off-road vehicles, to Manitou and aerial fire appliances.
You’ll work a 9 day fortnight (5 days week one, then 4 days in week two), although for the first three months you may be asked to work Monday to Friday to assist in skill acquisition.
In return we offer a positive, learning environment, lots of development opportunities and access to some incredible benefits and discounts- from free gym access and money off at high-street stores, to a good pension, generous holidays and access to free wellbeing support for you and your household.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
1. To provide effective, practical and theoretical driving tuition to all nominated staff including off-road techniques to standards acceptable to the requirements of the service and where appropriate to standards required by the Department of Transport and Qualified Driving Standards Agency examiners.

To ensure that such training complies with recommendations of the Station Manager, the Fleet Manager, the recommendations of the vehicle supplier or manufacturer and to any approved codes of practice.
4. To research, design and deliver driver training to achieve a high standard of delivery of emergency fire appliances to the scene of an emergency situation to all SYFR employees.
5. To provide advice and support on all aspects of changes in driver training and road traffic laws including changes to European Community driving laws to the SYFR senior management team via the Line Manager.
6. Arrange pre-assessments and make suitable arrangements for LGV medicals to be undertaken. Programme and arrange training and development programmes as required by the organisation.
7. Provide an organisational contact point for the Road Traffic Industrial Training Board (RTITB) or other Awarding Body and arrange and plan visits as and when required.
8. Advise the organisations Corporate Management Board on matters regarding driving courses which fit with organisational objectives via the Line Manager.

10. Complete daily routine safety checks and cleanliness of training vehicles.
11. Work flexibly in relation to the needs of the post and the service including completing instructor training in hours of darkness (achieved 30 minutes after sunset).
