Job Purpose, Tasks and Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

• Assessing the Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety.
• Conducting Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) on other assessors' work.
• Providing ongoing support to delegates, ensuring they complete their qualification in a timely manner.
• Managing a delegate-led caseload, adapting to fluctuating workloads as learners enrol at different times.
• Conducting regular progress reviews and meetings with delegates over an 18-month course duration.
• Reviewing assessments within a 10-day SLA and responding to learner queries within a 3-day SLA.
• Maintaining accurate records of delegate progress.
• Ensuring quality standards are met across all assessments.
• Collaborating with the NVQ Manager to address any concerns or improvements.

• Building strong relationships with delegates, offering guidance and support throughout their learning journey.

What's the Best Thing About This Role

You will gain immense satisfaction from guiding learners through their qualifications and supporting their professional growth, ensuring they achieve their goals and progress in their careers.

What's the Most Challenging Thing About This Role

This is a delegate-led role, meaning your workload is dictated by the number of learners assigned to you, each with up to 18 months to complete their course. There is no fail option, so assessments can be resubmitted multiple times until they pass.

Time management, flexibility, and long-term planning are crucial, as you must balance responding to learners' needs while maintaining assessment SLAs.

Strong interpersonal skills are also key, as building rapport with delegates over the course duration ensures they stay engaged and supported.

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role, you must have:

• One of the following assessor qualifications: A1 Assessor Award, Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment or Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement
• CertIOSH status.
• A Level 6 Health and Safety qualification.
• Experience in hands-on health and safety management.
• Proficiency in using IT systems and learning management software.
• An IQA Qualification or willingness to work towards it.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and critical thinking skills.
• The ability to balance assessment deadlines with ongoing delegate support.

We know it's not a skill, but the successful candidate must have permission to work in the role's location by the start of their employment.
