Overview
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 would 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 driving tests in the candidate’s vehicle and assess whether they meet the expected standards to pass the test.
* Use a tablet to record performance during the test and provide positive and constructively critical feedback clearly after the test.
* Put nervous candidates at ease using exceptional people skills during the process.
* Work full-time: 37 hours per week over seven days; complete seven driving tests each day. One weekend day of your choice is required to be worked each month, with a weekday off when scheduled.
Requirements / Qualifications
* Proactive, friendly, and safe drivers who would like to train to become Driving Examiners.
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary.
* 25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day each 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.
