Examiner in Doetinchem

For the CBR in Doetinchem, we are looking for a decisive, stress-resistant examiner who is strong in making objective assessments - 30-37.5 hours per week. As an examiner, you assess whether candidates are ready to participate independently and responsibly in traffic. You make important decisions daily, work with diverse people, and combine clear rules with a professional and respectful approach.

Your Mission

You assess eight exam candidates daily between 08:00 and 16:00, but no day is the same. Every candidate, traffic situation, and exam drive requires a new consideration.
During the exam, you maintain an overview, adjust your route when the situation requires it, and continuously observe the candidate's behavior. You analyze what you see, process information quickly, and arrive at a careful and well-founded judgment. Simultaneously, you maintain contact with the driving instructor and prepare for the results interview.
Even when candidates react disappointed or emotionally to the outcome, you remain calm, clear, and professional. You know how to strike the right balance between applying the exam requirements and respectfully guiding candidates.

What will you do?

• Fair and Expert Assessment
  You conduct practical exams and assess candidates according to the applicable exam requirements. You will arrive at an independent, consistent, and well-founded assessment.

• Decision-Making Under Pressure
  Unexpected situations can arise during exams. You remain calm, make well-considered choices, and maintain control, even when circumstances change.

• Providing Clear and Respectful Feedback
  After the exam, you conduct the results interview. You provide clear feedback, explain your assessment understandably, and know how to convey even difficult messages professionally.

• Collaboration and Development
  You work closely with colleagues and managers to ensure the quality of the exams. You share knowledge, provide feedback, and contribute to a pleasant working environment where people learn from each other.

Why This Role?
The role of an examiner offers a unique combination of responsibility, independence, and human interaction. You work within clear frameworks, but no situation is the same. It is precisely this variety, combined with making objective assessments and conducting meaningful conversations, that makes the work challenging and valuable.

The Training
Because the job demands a lot, we will first train you for four months to become an examiner. During that training, you will learn everything about examining: from route planning to giving feedback. You will assess driving skills, remain objective, and ensure every candidate feels at ease. And if you see that it is going well? Then you literally give someone the freedom to go on the road independently.

Because the full-time training is a mandatory part, you cannot take leave during the first 4 months. You will receive the salary described at the bottom of the vacancy immediately from the start of the training.

After successfully completing this training, you will conduct exams independently under the guidance of an internship supervisor. Additionally, a coach will support you in developing into a fully-fledged examiner.

What do you bring?

• Minimum demonstrable MBO 4 work and thinking level
  You can demonstrate this with an MBO 4 diploma (or higher) or a transition certificate to 4 havo/vwo. If you don't have these, it is possible to take a capacity test that we will arrange for you after submitting your CV and motivation questions.

• Minimum 10 years in possession of a B driving license (manual transmission). An A driving license and active motorcycle riding experience are a plus.

• You have experience with client situations where you easily connected with different people. You sense situations well and adapt your communication to the person, the circumstances, and the moment.

• You have demonstrable and recent experience with conversations where your assessment has consequences for others. You handle resistance and emotions professionally and explain your judgment clearly and respectfully.

• Proficiency in the Dutch language at B1 level, both spoken and written.

• You live within a 40-kilometer travel distance of the exam location.

• Please note: submitting a VOG (Declaration of Good Conduct) and undergoing a medical examination are part of the selection procedure.

We are also looking for examiners for other locations. We ask you to submit only 1 application; we will look at the possibilities with you if the preferred location is no longer available.

Please note: there are several deadlines in the application procedure; see the bottom of this vacancy for this.

What can you expect from us?

You will get a meaningful and challenging job at an organization where change and innovation are high on the agenda. This also comes with good employment conditions:

• A one-year contract for the number of hours you are available (30 or 37.5 hours per week) with the prospect of a permanent position
• A gross monthly salary of €4,354.56 based on 37.5 hours per week
• In addition to your salary, you will receive an Individual Choice Budget (IKB). The IKB consists of money (16.33% of your gross annual salary) and time. With the IKB, you make the choices that suit you and can assemble part of your employment conditions yourself. For example, you can choose to have part of your monthly income paid out. You can also convert this budget into leave and vice versa, or spend it on tax-advantageous purposes.
• Over six weeks of vacation for a full-time employment
• A lease car
• A reimbursement of €40 gross per month for your health insurance
• Ample training, education, and development opportunities in a people-oriented organizational culture with a noble social mission
• Excellent secondary employment conditions such as a good leave arrangement and pension accrual via ABP
• When you are hired, your training will start on February 1, 2027.
