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
* Assess practical driving tests to determine if candidates meet the required standards to pass.
* Conduct tests in the candidate\'s vehicle and provide both positive and constructive feedback after the test.
* Record performance using a tablet during the test and communicate results clearly to candidates.
* Work full-time, 37 hours per week, over seven days, with an expectation to complete seven driving tests per day.
* One weekend day of your choice is required to be worked each month, with a weekday off when scheduled.
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.
