We pride ourselves on the positive impact diversity has and promote inclusivity and equality of opportunity for all. Our recruitment process is anonymised, which means that your name, date of birth and other personal details will not be seen by the sift panel.

Would you like the opportunity to earn while you gain a nationally recognised qualification?

Additional Information

Successful candidates will spend up to one day a week in a college/university environment. The rest of their time will provide on-the-job experience, working directly with teams as part of DVLA’s IT community. This is a fantastic opportunity where you will grow your wider skills such as teamwork, resilience, communication, and problem solving.

Applications will be accepted from full time applicants. Full time roles at DVLA consist of 37 hours per week. Flexible working may also be available subject to the needs of the business. If you have a flexible working requirement, you should contact the vacancy holder in advance of making an application to avoid possible disappointment later in the process should your desired working arrangements not be compatible with the requirements of the role. To contact the vacancy holder, please use the job contact details listed under ‘Contact point for applicants’.

This role will be based in Swansea, and we will be operating a hybrid working model that allows you to work between home and on-site giving you greater flexibility about where and when you work, subject to business needs and this also allows for ongoing support, development, and collaboration with colleagues.

Therefore, the expectation is that you will spend a minimum of 60% of your working time based at your principal workplace (DVLA). We would encourage you to discuss the working arrangements for this role with us during the recruitment process.
