Trainee Driving Instructor

Overview

Drive Pro Academy is recruiting three trainee driving instructors based in or around Elgin. We offer a structured, supported route into driving instruction for people looking for a long-term career change. This is not a franchise opportunity and does not require large up-front training fees. Elgin is a busy test centre with high learner demand, and we are expanding capacity by training new instructors properly and supporting them once qualified.

• Structured online learning
• A two-week intensive in-person training period in Orkney
• Ongoing mentoring and support from experienced trainer instructors, including local support in Elgin
• Training is fully supported, with time to build confidence before teaching independently

Once qualified, you will work as a self-employed driving instructor, supported with:

• Ongoing mentoring
• Admin and booking support
• A gradual, supported start to teaching

Drive Pro Academy covers the cost of training up front. In return, instructors commit to working with us for a minimum period once qualified. Full details are explained clearly before any commitment is made.

This role may suit you if you:

• Live in or near Elgin and plan to stay
• Are considering a career change
• Enjoy working with people
• Have strong driving experience and a calm, patient approach
• Are looking for a long-term, supported move into self-employment
• No previous teaching experience is required.
