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
* Use your exceptional people skills to put nervous test candidates at ease.
* Conduct the driving test in the candidate\'s vehicle and assess whether they meet the required standards to pass the test.
* Record performance using a tablet and provide positive and constructive feedback after the test.
* Work full time (37 hours per week) over seven days and complete seven driving tests per day.
* Work one weekend day per month (a weekday off is provided when this occurs).
Benefits
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of salary (Civil Service Pensions).
* 25 days of annual leave, increasing with 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.
