Mobile Mechanic
Carry out suitable servicing, diagnostics and repairs at customers’ homes and workplaces across West Yorkshire. You will work from a clear digital job record, communicate honestly and leave every vehicle and work area safe.
What you will do
Carry out suitable servicing, diagnostics and repairs at customers’ homes and workplaces across West Yorkshire. You will work from a clear digital job record, communicate honestly and leave every vehicle and work area safe.
This is a genuinely mobile role. Work takes place at suitable customer homes and workplaces, so every team member must be dependable, respectful of customer property and prepared to stop when a location or task cannot be made safe.
What we stand for
Honesty
Report what you find, what you have done and what remains uncertain. Never sell work a customer does not need.
Integrity
Follow safe methods and agreed scope even when nobody is watching. Protect vehicles, parts, data and customer trust.
Accountability
Own the update, the parts reference and the finish. Raise mistakes early so the team can put them right.
Minimum criteria
- Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair, a completed motor vehicle apprenticeship, or demonstrably equivalent experience subject to practical assessment.
- A full UK driving licence appropriate to the vehicle used, with any current points or restrictions declared for insurance review.
- Confident use of diagnostic information, parts references and a mobile dashboard.
- A safe, methodical approach to lone and mobile work, with clear customer communication.
Important: a motor mechanic is not a generally licensed occupation in the UK. These are SSK’s hiring standards. Equivalent experience is considered fairly and practical competence is verified before unsupervised work.
Useful, but not essential
- IMI or equivalent accreditation
- Hybrid/EV competence appropriate to the work undertaken
- Experience with vans and light commercial vehicles
- Your own suitable tools
Pay, working pattern and benefits
£30,000 a year pro rata, negotiable. Final pay reflects evidence, experience and the agreed hours. Pay will always meet the applicable legal minimum.
- 30 days’ paid annual leave pro rata; bank-holiday treatment is confirmed in the offer
- Company van for approved driving roles, or an approved own commercial vehicle by agreement
- Digital job records and office support
- Three-month probation with structured review
How selection works
- Online application and CV review against the same role criteria.
- A short conversation and, where appropriate, a reasonable job-related practical assessment.
- Conditional checks: right to work, references, and relevant licence/qualification evidence.
- Written offer and three-month probation plan.
We do not automatically reject candidates for grammar or a criminal-record answer. We ask only about relevant unspent convictions at application stage and assess information fairly in context. A normal mobile-mechanic role is not advertised as eligible for Standard or Enhanced DBS checking.
Fair access
We welcome applications from people with different backgrounds. Tell us in the application if you need a reasonable adjustment for the application, interview or practical assessment. We do not ask general health or disability questions before a conditional offer.
