What you will be doing: 

Reporting to an End Point Assessor Manager, you’ll be working with apprentices and their employers to plan, carry out and report on End Point Assessments.

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.

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. You’ll be confident working autonomously but also a keen team player. Your time management and administration skills will be second to none.  

What you’ll need: 

As well as a proven passion for and hands-on experience within Policy making, and a sector relevant occupational qualification to at least level 5.
