Dyfed Powys police are excited to be seeking qualified and skilled trainers to deliver The National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) course across the force geographical area. NDORS is a national initiative administered by UK ROEd, offered to individuals who have committed minor motoring offences an educational alternative to a fixed penalty notice or court proceedings. The aim of the scheme is to improve driving attitudes, encourage behavioural changes and enhance road safety.
As a licensed NDORS course provider, DPP delivers the full suite of NDORS courses, including:
1. National Speed Awareness Course
2. National Motorway Awareness Course
3. What’s Driving Us?
4. Safe and Considerate Driving
5. National Rider Risk Awareness Course
As a course facilitator, you will have the opportunity to directly benefit safety for all road space users by helping offenders understand the importance of safer driving and encouraging them to make lasting changes. This role requires excellent communication skills, a professional approach, and the ability to engage and motivate participants to take responsibility for their driving.
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys is inviting applications to deliver NDORS courses on behalf of Dyfed-Powys Police (DPP). Only those who meet the criteria set by UK ROEd and are able to professionally represent DPP to the public will be considered for this contract.
The DPP Driver Re-Training Scheme will manage and coordinate the NDORS courses, including the allocation of courses to trainers and the booking of clients. Successful applicants will work closely with the Driver Re-Training Scheme, which will assign courses based on trainer availability.
There are two available roles to apply for:
1. Trainer
2. Driving Coaches
Courses are delivered in three formats and applicants may apply for one or more of the following delivery methods:
1. Classroom Courses: Delivered in various public venues across the Dyfed-Powys Police area, including: Llanelli, Carmarthen, Newtown.
2. Digital Courses: Delivered via Microsoft Teams, requiring the use of a laptop and sufficient broadband speed for a smooth delivery. An IT assessment will be conducted by DPP prior to commencement, and it is the contractor's responsibility to address any broadband deficiencies at their own cost.
3. In-Car Training (Driving Coaches): Facilitators will need to provide their own manual or automatic dual-controlled vehicle for in-car training.
We encourage trainers to apply for multiple courses, though this is not mandatory. Trainers need to be able to deliver courses in either English or Welsh, or both. Courses are delivered throughout the working week, including evenings and Saturdays, offering flexibility for those looking to balance work with other commitments.
Qualification and Skills: To apply for the role of trainer or driving coach, you must meet the specific skills and qualifications required by UK ROEd for the delivery of NDORS courses. Applicants should be able to demonstrate that they meet the criteria outlined in the person specifications for each role. Trainers and driving coaches will also be required to successfully complete training and assessments to deliver NDORS courses.
Key Requirements:
1. Vetting: Successful applicants will be required to undergo NPPV Level 2 vetting by Dyfed-Powys Police. Failure to pass the vetting process will result in removal from the scheme. Applicants may also need to enter into Data Processing, Disclosure, or Confidentiality agreements as part of the contract.
2. Insurance: All successful trainers must have Public Liability insurance in place to the value of £5,000,000 and Professional Liability insurance to the value of £1,000,000. In-car trainers must also ensure their vehicle is insured, taxed, and MOT’d (where applicable) in compliance with road traffic legislation.
3. Training: Once appointed, induction training will be provided by Dyfed-Powys Police, including training on the systems used to manage the scheme. Trainers will be required to pass written assessments and be assessed during live course delivery by a UK ROEd monitor. Ongoing training, including attendance at Continuous Professional Development (CPD) events, will be required throughout the contract. Please note that all training is completed in the contractor's own time, and no payment will be made for this.
Payment and Course Fees: Trainers will be paid according to the following rates:
1. Digital Courses: £80.25 per session
2. Classroom Courses: £100 per session
3. In-Car Training (Driving Coaches): £139.10 per session
