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 driving tests, assessing whether candidates meet the required standards to pass.
* Carry out 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 strong people skills.
* Work across full-time hours with 37 hours per week over seven days; complete seven driving tests per day.
* Work one weekend day per month (weekday off when scheduled).
Qualifications / Skills
* Excellent people skills; ability to put candidates at ease and communicate clearly.
* No need for a background in driver training or a driving-related profession.
* Ability to work full time, with the defined testing schedule (37 hours/week, seven tests per day).
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.
