North of Beverley and lodged in the quiet village of Leconfield lies the Defence School of Transport - an internationally recognised centre of excellence for wheeled driver training. The largest residential driving school in the world, this tri-service establishment trains over 6000 students a year from the Army, Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force on a wide range of specialist military vehicles, enabling individuals to gain an array of licences and qualifications.
The Defence School of Transport are in the process of recruiting Large Goods Vehicle driving licence holders to train the next generation of service men and women.

Working in an internationally renowned Defence organisation, we are seeking motivated, flexible, inspirational and approachable individuals who are keen to make a positive impact in a dynamic teaching environment – both on and off road.
