Join the team at The Cedars Academy
At The Cedars Academy, we believe every child deserves a calm, inclusive, and safe environment where they can thrive. We are excited to offer a unique opportunity for a Car Mechanics Mentor to become part of our dedicated Pastoral Team.
Car Mechanics Mentor – permanent
2 days (13 hours) per week typically 8.30am – 3.30pm
39 weeks per year - term time plus one week equivalent, to include training days
Grade 5 pay point 7 FTE £25,191 (actual salary £7,573.34 per annum)
In this role, you’ll lead our Car and Bicycle Mechanics intervention, working with small groups of pupils to teach practical skills such as changing wheels, tyres, and brake pads. More importantly, you’ll help young people build confidence, develop resilience, and feel positive about their school experience.
You don’t need experience working with children—just a passion for mechanics and a desire to make a difference. If you have basic car mechanic skills, and you’re calm, patient, and kind, you could be the role model our pupils need.
If you’d like to have a chat about the role, or if you would like to come and visit and see our awesome bespoke, fully equipped mechanics workshop, please do not hesitate to contact us.
