About the Role
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is seeking dedicated individuals to join our team as Driving Examiners. This vital public service role plays an important part in keeping Britain’s roads safe, as well as connecting people and their communities.
As a Driving Examiner, you will work at a DVSA driving test centre with a team of professionals. You will spend your day conducting driving tests; each test is approximately 57 minutes long and Examiners working full-time are expected to complete 7 tests a day.
Key Responsibilities
* Communicate clearly with members of the public, giving clear instructions.
* Put nervous drivers at ease.
* Keep yourself, the driver and other members of the public safe.
* Have a strong awareness of your surroundings both within and outside of the car.
* Use a tablet to record results during tests, maintaining accurate records.
* Assess the competence of drivers undertaking practical driving tests, evaluating their ability to drive safely and responsibly under varying road and traffic conditions and ensuring that only those who meet the required standards are granted a driving licence.
* Hold difficult conversations with the driver and deliver driving test outcomes sensitively, clearly and professionally.
In addition to conducting driving tests you’ll collaborate with colleagues, discuss current local traffic conditions on test routes and find alternatives if there are problems such as roadworks, and share ideas about how to improve the service for customers and perform light admin such as writing up feedback for test candidates, checking your schedule and answering customer queries.
At all times, our Driving Examiners uphold impartiality, professionalism and integrity, and act as a role model for the DVSA and the Civil Service.
