Current vacancies

Transport Trainer

  • Full time
  • £34,000 – £40,000
  • Hybrid: Edinburgh
  • Closing 28th January 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen with Lothian Community Transport Services for the vacancy of a Transport Trainer. We have built up a reputation as an outstanding training centre, throughout the UK and we are looking to continue to maintain this reputation and also build on it by expanding our training offer and developing succession planning with our current Training Manager, who is due to retire in 2027.

This role could be perfect for someone who is interested in the delivery of transport training and loves working with people from a variety of different backgrounds. Perhaps you have a background in professional driving, perhaps you are a driver instructor looking for a new challenge. Whilst we can offer a comprehensive and funded training package, through a training agreement, you will already need to be confident in training delivery.

Responsible To:Chief Executive Officer

Primary Responsibilities:To deliver a range of training programmes to a wide variety of customers

Location:Primarily based at LCTS offices in Portobello, Edinburgh, but with a requirement to also deliver at the premises of third parties – some UK travel is likely to be required once training is completed. There is the possibility of occasional hybrid working being offered to the right candidate, but the ability to attend the office on several days per week would be essential.

Benefits

  • A matched pension contribution of up to 6% into any legal pension fund.
  • Free parking.
  • A supportive and relaxed working environment.
