SalaryAbout Us
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb) is a leading global professional membership organisation dedicated to promoting and facilitating the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. Ciarb has a rich history spanning over a century and as a UK registered charity Ciarb works in the public interest through our global network of 43 branches to advance the understanding and practice of ADR worldwide.
To fulfil its mission, Ciarb provides qualifications in the fields of arbitration, adjudication, and mediation, leading to different grades of professional membership and delivered by experienced practitioners who are also members (faculty). We are in the early stages of a reform programme designed to modernise our training courses and assessments in line with a new set of competence frameworks and current best-practice approaches.
Position Overview
We are seeking a dynamic and creative instructional and curriculum designer with the gravitas to drive the transition to competence-based training and assessment for all Ciarb qualifications and ongoing development of our courses thereafter.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with staff, including subject matter experts in ADR and education and training, across the organisation and with volunteers to deliver impactful, competence-based learning and assessment experiences for members and potential members through online, blended, and face-to-face delivery.
Ciarb has developed a competence framework for ADR disciplines at different levels of membership. The competence frameworks are unique in the sector. Ciarb is looking for an individual to further develop and deliver assessments in line with the competence frameworks, complete a gap analysis of current courses against the competence frameworks and develop, as appropriate revised curricula to ensure Ciarb’s training is delivered in line with its competence frameworks by its global faculty, all of whom are experienced practitioners. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of ADR education and training thereby supporting the effective delivery of ADR globally.
