Overview
Join to apply for the Driving Examiner role at TipTopJob
The organisation driving examiners assess whether learner drivers (and riders) are safe and competent to drive independently on the roads. Most importantly, this work saves lives. They’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 the organisation.

Full-time driving examiners work 37 hours a week over seven 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.
