About DVSA
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is responsible for keeping Britain moving safely and sustainably. As a Driving Examiner you will help ensure people get their driving future off to a great start. We are looking for proactive, friendly and safe drivers who would like to train to become fully qualified Driving Examiners.
Training and progression
We provide all the training you need. Test centres are grouped into clusters; you will select a cluster local to you. After a job offer, you will train online, then undertake practical training at a local test centre. You will have up to three weeks of guidance at a regional training facility before embarking on a varied career assessing learner readiness for licences.
Day-to-day responsibilities
* Meet people from diverse backgrounds and oversee seven driving examinations each day.
* Put nervous customers at ease by using exceptional people skills and guide them through instructions.
* Record results on a tablet and determine if candidates meet the required standards.
* Deliver positive and negative outcomes with tact and diplomacy.
To make the most of this challenge
You will value diversity and inclusivity, and communicate effectively—both verbally and non-verbally. You will be a calm, unflappable driver with at least three years of UK or EU driving experience, and no more than three penalty points. You should have a good knowledge of the Highway Code and correct road procedures. You will be friendly, team-spirited and committed to setting high standards for drivers to uphold.
What you can expect in return
We offer an excellent work-life balance with flexible working options, 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays and an extra privilege day to mark the King’s birthday. Additional benefits include an employer pension contribution of up to 27%.
If you are ready to embark on an interesting career where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.
