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 whod 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 practical driving tests in the candidate’s vehicle and assess whether they meet the required standards to pass the test.
* Use a tablet to record performance during the test and provide positive and constructively critical feedback, clearly and sensitively, after the test.
* Put nervous candidates at ease through excellent people skills.
* Work full-time, 37 hours per week, over seven days, with the expectation to complete seven driving tests each 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.
Requirements & Additional Information
* You do not need a background in driver training or a driving-related profession to join; training to become a Driving Examiner is provided.
* You will use your people skills to support test candidates and communicate feedback effectively.
* Proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme.
* Disability Confident note: The employer may offer interviews to applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria; in certain recruitment situations the number of interviews may be limited.
