Join us at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
Most people know DVLA for the work we do providing driving licences, vehicle tax and number plates. However, the work our people do at DVLA is far wider reaching than that.
Our award-winning services are helping to make people’s lives easier, while the great work we do maintaining the registration and licensing documents of drivers, helps to keep UK roads safe.
Working Here
There’s never been a more exciting time to start your career at DVLA. We’re going through a radical process of change, moving away from a paper-based organisation to a modern and highly efficient business.
In the last decade we’ve expanded our digital service offering, transforming the services we provide our customers and becoming a multi-award-winning government agency.
Roles
Holding more than 52 million driver records and more than 46 million vehicle records is no easy feat. It requires the input and support from thousands of people, each with a diverse range of skills and experience.
We offer career paths in many professions from finance to administration, IT to communications, and even nurses and doctors. Whatever your skillset, there are exciting careers in DVLA for everyone.

Locations
For over 50 years, DVLA has been well-known as one of the largest employers in South Wales. We currently employ over 6,000 staff on our Swansea-based sites and are fortunate to be located in one of the most beautiful, up-and-coming cities in the UK.
We have recently opened a customer service centre in Birmingham and are looking forward to bringing more opportunities to the area.
Flexible working
We understand the importance of work-life balance at DVLA and we have multiple options that allow you to work flexibly. Most of our roles offer part-time working, job sharing, term-time working staggered hours, and flexible working allowing you to balance your responsibilities and pursue your interests outside of work. Career breaks and volunteering for charities are also an option for all staff.
At our Swansea site, we work with parents who are full-time, part-time or shift workers to provide easy-to-access, high quality, on-site childcare with wrap around services and out-of-hours care for older children.
You can also receive paid or unpaid special leave if you need to deal with personal issues outside of work, where you require additional time and support.
Different People, One Team
We embrace diversity and celebrate our differences. Everyone is involved in making DfT an inclusive and great place to work.
Our commitment to you
We are fully committed to ensuring your job is a place where you want to be and we’re associated with a variety of organisations who we continue to learn and develop from. These include:
