You’ll also carry out administration and keep your sector knowledge up to date.  

With a great work/life balance, and with the support of our expert and friendly team, you’ll have the chance to not only help people improve their prospects, but to help our business achieve its ambitions.  

As an EPA your role will be varied and flexible and will include working from home and visits out in the field within the sector you specialise in.

Able to interact with a wide range of learners, you’re empathetic yet effective in your tasks and a keen communicator, whether that’s written or verbal.

What we offer:  

In return for applying your skills and experience as an Associate End Point Assessor you will be welcomed and integrated in to the Innovate culture, so you really feel part of the team.
