Are you a PDI (Partly Qualified Driving Instructor) looking for the right school to complete your training and launch your career? Clear Lane Driving Academy is actively recruiting trainee and qualified driving instructors across Greater Manchester — and we want to hear from you today.
We cover Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Middleton, Cheetham Hill, Bredbury, Sale, West Didsbury, and Bury — and we’re growing fast. If you’re based in any of these areas and you’re serious about building a rewarding career as a driving instructor, Clear Lane is the school for you.
At Clear Lane, we do things differently. We genuinely invest in our instructors — especially PDIs who are still working through their training. Here’s what makes us different:
We are particularly keen to recruit PDIs — partly qualified instructors who hold a trainee licence and are working towards their ADI Part 3. PDIs who join a school early tend to build stronger, longer-lasting relationships, and we love being part of that journey.
We are also open to hearing from fully qualified ADIs who are looking for a change — perhaps you want more pupil supply, better support, or simply a fresher start with a growing school that actually cares about its instructors.
We especially welcome applications from female instructors. The demand for female driving instructors across Greater Manchester far outstrips the supply. If you’re a woman who is qualified or training to become a driving instructor, you will have a full diary from virtually day one with us.
We are recruiting instructors across the following areas in and around Greater Manchester:
A PDI (Partly Qualified Driving Instructor) trainee licence allows you to legally teach paying pupils while you complete your training towards full ADI status. This means you can earn money as you learn — and with Clear Lane, you’ll have the pupils and the support you need to make that work from the very start.
Your PDI licence is issued by the DVSA and is valid for 6 months, renewable up to a maximum of two years. During this time, you are working towards passing your ADI Part 3 test — the in-car practical assessment where a DVSA examiner sits in and evaluates your teaching ability. Clear Lane supports you through this entire process.
Getting in touch is simple. Send us a message using the contact form below, or call us directly. Tell us a little about yourself — where you’re based, what stage of your training you’re at (PDI or ADI), and when you’re looking to start. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours.
We have positions available right now across all our areas. Don’t wait — instructor spots fill up quickly, especially as we continue to grow across Greater Manchester.

Yes — in fact, this is the ideal time to join. We actively encourage PDIs to come to us as early as possible. The sooner you’re with us, the more support you get, the faster you progress, and the quicker you build a loyal pupil base.
Ideally yes, especially if you are already on your trainee licence. We can discuss car arrangements on a case-by-case basis — contact us to find out what options are available.
That’s entirely up to you. Many of our instructors work 30–40 hours per week, but we can accommodate part-time instructors too. We build your diary around your availability.
Absolutely — more than you might expect. Across Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton, and the surrounding areas, there are many pupils — particularly young women and learners from certain cultural backgrounds — who strongly prefer a female instructor. Female instructors often have a waiting list within months of joining us.
We are currently recruiting in Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Middleton, Cheetham Hill, Bredbury, Sale, West Didsbury, and Bury. If you’re in or near any of these areas, we want to hear from you.
