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 to 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 after the test.
* Use exceptional people skills to put nervous test candidates at ease.
* Full-time driving examiners work 37 hours a week over seven days and are expected to complete seven driving tests each day.
* One weekend day of your choice is required to be worked each month, with a weekday off each time one is scheduled.
Benefits and working arrangements
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary.
* 25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day each year of service (up to a maximum of 30 days annual leave), plus 8 bank holidays and a privilege day for the King\'s birthday.
* Flexible working options promoting a good work-life balance.
