Crynodeb

Do you want to make a difference to road safety in Great Britain?

Would you like to gain an industry recognised qualification and earn while you learn?

If so, we'd love to hear from you!

We have an exciting opportunity to start your career at DVSA as one of our apprentice HGV Mechanics/MOT Testers (known internally as a Vehicle Standards Assessor), where you will get more than just an education; you will gain skills that can set you up for life. We invest a lot in our apprentices because we want you to be the future of our business.

To find out more about the job and to get some advice on the application process, please join us at one of our virtual events where you will also have an opportunity to ask questions. You can register for an event here. There are a number of DVSA events scheduled, so please be sure to select one of the Apprentice Vehicle Standards Assessor events.

Click here to find out more regarding the specifics around the Level 3 Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance Technician Apprenticeship course.We expect enrolment for this apprenticeship to be in November/December 2024 and applicants will need to be available to start then.

As an Apprentice Vehicle Standards Assessor, you will:

  • Gain practical experience repairing and maintaining heavy goods vehicles. This is undertaken via a work placement at a 3rd party workshop. Please note: some workshops might be an hour away from the advertised location.
  • Spend time away from home; this involves attending college overnight in the West Midlands for 8 blocks per year, lasting one week each, to work towards a qualification in heavy goods vehicle repair and maintenance. This is a mandatory part of the role.
  • Typically, spend one day a week shadowing a Vehicle Standards Assessor mentor at 3rd party testing facilities. Here you will learn the various processes and routines used in vehicle testing. This will be your full time role on completion of the apprenticeship.

For further information, please see the attached candidate pack.

Location Information

During your application, you should indicate which network you wish to be considered for and, if successful, you will be placed on an individual list of candidates for each network. Candidates will be held on that list and drawn from it in merit order. There are 5 available positions for this role. Some of the networks advertised will not have posts available immediately. However, we will hold a Reserve List for up to 12 months and will be in touch with the successful candidates should they become available.

We advise you to carefully consider which network you wish to be considered for. If you decline an offer for a network you have expressed a preference in, you will be withdrawn from any lists you may be held on.

We may also offer candidates a network that they have not expressed a preference for where we have the requirement to do so but this will again be done on the basis of your place in the overall merit order and, in this event, you will not be removed from the list if you decline.

Please note that lead locations have only been selected so it is easier for us to identify which network is of interest to you.

Please indicate your choice of network by selecting the location name as shown in bold below.
