Jim is a minor antagonist, played by Cavan Clerkin, is the head mechanic at the garage where Will does his work experience placement. Jim, along with his colleagues Wolfie and Steve, is initially friendly towards Will when he arrives, but Will quickly antagonises him when he refers to their occupation as "dirty" and "not academic".
Jim sends Will on a fool's errand with a list of items that he needs (eg. tartan paint x2, bubbles for spirit, a reach around and a long wait while he is there) to keep Will distracted. After a pint at The Crown, he, Steve and Wolfie kidnap Will and throw him in the river with his trousers down.
The following day, Jim quizzes Will on his sex life and comes to the correct conclusion that he is a virgin. Will denies this telling them that Charlotte Hinchcliffe is his girlfriend and that they had sex. That night Jim sends Wolfie to the under eighteen's disco (since he is seventeen and thus, entitled to go) where Charlotte was working and she tells Jim using Wolfie's phone that Will is not her boyfriend and that they did not have sex. Jim is not seen again.
