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.

* One weekend day of your choice is required to be worked each month, with a weekday off when scheduled.
