Summary
DVSA driving examiners assess whether learner drivers (&riders) are safe and competent to drive independently on our roads.
Most importantly, this work saves lives.
We're looking for proactive, friendly, and safe drivers who'd like to train to become Driving Examiners.
Driving Examiners come from all walks of life: you don't need a background in driver training or a driving-related profession to join us.
Driving examiners assess practical driving tests, but do not teach people to drive - this is a separate role carried out by driving instructors who are not employed by DVSA.
Responsibilities
* Conduct the driving test in the candidate's vehicle and assess whether they meet the required standards to pass the test.
* Use a tablet to record performance during the test and provide both positive and constructively critical feedback after the test.
* Work full-time (37 hours per week) over seven days and aim to complete seven driving tests each day.
* One weekend day of work per month is required, with a weekday off when scheduled.
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of salary.
* 25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day per year of service (up to 30 days), plus 8 bank holidays and a privilege day for the King's birthday.
* Flexible working options to support work-life balance.
