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 DVSA.
Joining our department comes with many benefits, including:
* Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary. Read more about Civil Service Pensions here
* 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 a privilege day for the King’s birthday
* Flexible working options where we encourage a great work-life balance.

You will use your exceptional people skills to put nervous test candidates at ease.
Conducting the driving test in the candidate’s vehicle you will assess whether they meet the expected standards to pass the test.
You will use a tablet to record their performance during test and give both positive and constructively critical feedback sensitively and clearly after the test has concluded.
Full-time driving examiners work 37 hours a week over seven 7 days and are expected to complete seven driving tests each day.
One weekend day of your choice is required to be worked each month, but you’ll get a weekday off each time one is scheduled.
