Welcome to Outspoken Training! It's great to meet you. We exist to encourage more and better cycling by building confidence and skills in our trainees to ride more. We deliver, life-changing and fun cycle training along with instructor qualifications, to inspire more people to build cycling into their everyday lives. Watch this video for an overview of what being an instructor is like! Want to get involved? We run training in many different locations; we are looking for candidates who can travel to schools in and around Thrapston, Rushden, Corby, Wollaston, Brixworth, Harlingstone, Moulton and Guilsborough. You can specify the distance you are willing to travel. You will have the opportunity to work alongside a small, enthusiastic local team who share your passion for inspiring the next generation of cyclists. Seeing the pupils progress and gain confidence throughout courses is immensely enjoyable and rewarding. What will I be doing? Plan & deliver fun, exciting and progressive cycle training sessions. Maximise riding time and opportunity for pupils to cycle. Ride with groups of pupils between sites. Work outdoors in a variety of off and on-road environments. Look after the welfare and safeguarding of all pupils. Reflect on own performance to continuously adapt and improve practice. Complete course paperwork, including checking registers, checking consent forms, course outcomes, etc. Conduct risk assessments of clients, bicycles and training sites, including on and off-road locations. Communicate and liaise effectively with pupils, school staff, parents and clients. Give advice on any relevant cycling matters. Report all course information and feedback promptly to the office team. When do we need you? Courses are typically 1-4 days long during school term time. Our instructors are usually available for a minimum of two days per week with the flexibility to work variable hours per day between 9.00am and 3pm. If you have additional availability, then once fully qualified, work is also available on weekends and during school holidays. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee hours but will work with you to match your needs as closely as possible with ours. What's in it for you? We provide a fully funded, Ofqual accredited, Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training qualification and NSPCC safeguarding training. We also heavily subsidise First Aid training. This is supported by free annual continuing professional development (CPD) training which we pay employees to attend. All staff are eligible for our employee benefits scheme which includes savings on everyday shopping including supermarket discounts and fuel as well as a wellbeing programme. You will enjoy cycling either for leisure or as a form of transport and be keen to pass this on to children in a range of year groups. Finally We believe that a diverse workforce helps us better reflect and serve the communities we work with, inspiring people from all backgrounds to get on their bike. We welcome applications from all sections of the community and are committed to building an inclusive team where everyone feels valued. All appointments will be made on the basis of skills, experience and enthusiasm for our mission. Join us in building a stronger team to serve our communities better!
