NDORS Course Facilitators

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:

• Trainer 
• Driving Coaches 

Courses are delivered in three formats and applicants may apply for one or more of the following delivery methods:

Classroom Courses:

Delivered in various public venues across the Dyfed-Powys Police area, including:

• Parc y Scarlets, Llanelli

• Ivy Bush Hotel, Carmarthen
• NPTC Group Newtown College, Newtown

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.

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.

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:

• 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 the removal from the scheme. Applicants may also need to enter into Data Processing, Disclosure, or Confidentiality agreements as part of the contract.

• 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.

• 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.

• Quality Assurance:  Trainers will be subject to regular assessments and quality assurance checks to ensure that they meet the required standards of both UK ROEd and Dyfed-Powys Police. This includes bi-annual UK ROEd assessments and internal monitoring by DPP. Failure to meet standards may result in additional training or removal from the approved trainer list.

Trainers will be paid according to the following rates:

Digital Courses: £80.25 per session

Classroom Courses: £100 per session

In-Car Training (Driving Coaches): £139.10 per session

Monitor/Instructor: £33.44 per hour

Please be aware that payments will be processed in accordance with IR35 regulations, meaning that Tax and National Insurance contributions will be deducted from your invoice at the applicable Government rates. As a result, you will not be considered an employee and will not be entitled to employee benefits.

Payments will be made via BACS.

Driving Coaches will be exempt from IR35 rules, and no deductions will be made from their invoices.
