As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards in training and operational excellence, Go-Ahead London is seeking to appoint an additional Delegated Driving Examiner (DDE) to join our Driver Training & Development (DMI) Team. 

This role is key to ensuring the continued smooth and efficient running of the Recruitment & Training Academy and supports our succession planning for future examiner capacity. 

Due to a current national backlog with the DVSA Delegated Driving Examiner courses (estimated waiting time of approximately 10–12 months), we intend to appoint and train a suitable candidate in the interim to deliver Module 3A and Module 4 tests, until a place becomes available on the full DVSA Delegated Examiner course.

• Invigilating DVSA approved n house Theory Tests.
