Form of work
SalaryWe have an exciting opportunity for an experienced health and social care practice assessor to join our national Learning and Development team.
As a SVQ Assessor/Internal Verifier, you will work remotely within our internal SQA Approved Centre, which was awarded “high confidence” from SQA and “outstanding” feedback in our latest external verifications. You will predominantly support our staff in services in Fife, Forth Valley, the Lothians and the Borders to gain their qualifications in SVQ Level 2, 3 or 4 Social Services and Healthcare. You may also support candidates from other service areas as required.
You’ll lead candidates through their induction onto their qualification, plan assessments, provide learner support and assess holistically. You’ll be passionate about learning and experienced in offering additional learner support to suit a variety of learning styles and abilities. You will have strong organisational and communication skills, be comfortable and confident in the use of online tools such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and MS Office.
Working with around 30 candidates a year, we support candidates to complete most of their awards remotely via e-portfolio, but travel is required for direct observations and to support candidates. Flexibility and willingness to travel are essential to the role, which involves a combination of remote home-based working and travel to our services/office locations. Travel to other regions of Scotland may be required from time to time.
You must have a valid UK driving licence and access to your own car.
The post requires you to have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in Health and Social Care and a care qualification at SVQ Level 3, or equivalent. Ideally you will hold an SVQ Assessor and an Internal Verifier award, alternatively you must have a willingness to work towards these professional qualifications.
Closing Date: 6th March 2024 We reserve the right to close this vacancy at any point.
Basic disclosure checks will be required of all successful applicants; having a conviction will not necessarily debar you from working in this sector.
