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 are 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 required standards to pass the test.
* Use a tablet to record performance during the test and provide positive and constructively critical feedback after the test concludes.
* Put nervous test candidates at ease using exceptional people skills.
* Work full-time (37 hours per week) over seven days, completing seven driving tests per day. One weekend day per month is required to be worked, with a weekday off when scheduled.
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your 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 a healthy work-life balance.
