Overview
DVSA driving examiners assess whether learner drivers (and 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
* Assess candidate performance during driving tests in the candidate’s vehicle using a tablet to record performance and provide feedback after the test.
* Put nervous test candidates at ease using exceptional people skills.
* Determine whether candidates meet the required standards to pass the test.
* Complete seven driving tests per day, working 37 hours per week over seven days.
* Work one weekend day per month (a weekday off is provided when scheduled).
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary.
* 25 days annual leave, increasing with 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.
