Driving Instructor / Safety Training Specialist

Little Rock, AR | Full-Time or Part-Time | $18.00–$25.00/hr (based on qualifications and experience)

Join a Company That’s Been Improving Driver Safety Since 1953

For more than 70 years, Thompson Driving has helped improve driver performance through classroom driver education, defensive driving, court-ordered driver education, corporate fleet training, and driver evaluations. We’ve helped educate more than 100,000 drivers across Arkansas — and we’re not done yet.

We’re looking for confident, engaging communicators to join our team. If you’ve ever taught a class, led a training session, presented to a room, or built relationships with customers, this role will feel familiar — just with a more meaningful mission behind it.

This is primarily a classroom and group-instruction role. You’ll spend most of your time teaching court-ordered driver education classes, leading defensive driving courses, and delivering fleet safety training to businesses. Behind-the-wheel coaching is a small part of the job, used only as a last resort — this is not a “sit in the passenger seat with a teenager all day” position.

No Instructor Experience Required

We provide paid instructor training (approximately 72 hours) covering:

• Classroom instructional techniques
• Behind-the-wheel instructional methods (for the occasions it’s needed)
• State instructor certification requirements
• Thompson Driving’s teaching standards and coaching methods

If you’ve got the communication skills, we’ll teach you the rest.

What You’ll Do

• Lead classroom instruction for court-ordered driver education programs
• Deliver defensive driving and risk management courses to individuals and groups
• Conduct corporate fleet safety training for business clients
• Assist with driver evaluations and performance assessments, communicating feedback clearly and constructively
• Represent Thompson Driving when speaking with prospective clients, businesses, courts, and government agencies — answering questions and helping identify the right training program for their needs
• Support scheduling, student records, and day-to-day program coordination
• Occasionally provide behind-the-wheel instruction when needed

One day you might be leading a court-referred defensive driving class. The next, you’re training a fleet of delivery drivers on risk reduction. No two weeks look exactly the same.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re especially interested in candidates with a background in:

• Teaching or classroom instruction
• Public speaking or presenting
• Sales or client-facing roles
• Corporate training or coaching
• Law enforcement, military, or emergency services
• Customer service or account management

More than any specific résumé line, we’re looking for people who are comfortable in front of a room, confident explaining and persuading, patient with people at every skill level, and professional in how they represent a company with a 70-year reputation.

A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required.

Why Thompson Driving

• Arkansas’s longest-established driver education organization — trusted since 1953
• Paid instructor training — no prior experience necessary
• Mostly classroom and group-based work — minimal behind-the-wheel time
• Flexible full-time and part-time scheduling
• Real variety — courts, corporate fleets, defensive driving, and public classes
• Meaningful work — every class you teach makes Arkansas roads a little safer
• Career growth opportunities as our programs continue to expand
