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
* Use your exceptional people skills to put nervous test candidates at ease.
* Conduct driving tests in the candidate\'s vehicle and assess whether they meet the required standards to pass the test.
* Record performance on a tablet and provide positive and constructively critical feedback after the test.
* Work full-time, 37 hours per week, over seven days, and complete seven driving tests per day.
* 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 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 a good work-life balance.
