Reporting to the Training Instructor Team Leader (regionally), you will be supported throughout the training period by our highly qualified senior instructor team, and, once certification has been gained, will receive an uplift in salary accordingly. 

Please note that this role will include regional travel once qualified (company car or allowance is offered as part of the package), and there will also some national travel during the training period.
