The government agency which manages the UK’s driving database is hiring a new “Head of Corporate Wellbeing, Attendance and Inclusion.” Crucial…

For £54,857 the DVLA’s new director will provide “leadership and support for the development, implementation and communication of health and wellbeing, attendance and diversity and inclusion initiatives.” A diversity officer will be responsible for trying to get people into the office. Hilariously flexible working is on offer for this one…

The agency’s new hire will ensure every member of DVLA staff “experiences a sense of belonging and is empowered to achieve their full potential” and ensure “that equality, diversity and inclusion is considered in all aspects of work and links to the strategic aims.” On top of the salary you get £15,892 towards a gold-plated Civil Service pension. For that you could:

• Hire three new DVLA driving examiners.
• Fill 983 potholes.
• Purchase 70 British Army standard-issue SA80 rifles.
