Engineering Independent End-point Assessor (Midlands)
Following apprenticeship qualification reforms, apprenticeship standards are now mainly assessed by End-point Assessment, once candidates have completed certain elements of their training with the training provider. Therefore, we are currently recruiting a permanent, full-time role to undertake this work with us.
We have a position based around the Midlands area; however, you should be prepared to travel according to the needs of the business and so we would ordinarily expect you to have a full, clean UK driving license.
When applying for the role, do look at the person specifications carefully and map your skills, experience, knowledge to these, as this is what we will use when selecting applicants for interview. Stronger applicants will be able to cover multiple person specifications/standards.
This appointment will be made on merit.
We believe that diversity and inclusion strengthen and enriches us, and that it is the responsibility of everyone at the City & Guilds Group to drive this value. As ethnic minority groups and disabled people are currently under-represented within the Group, we particularly encourage and welcome applications from these communities.
About the role
The role of IEPA has been designed to provide an impartial, final assessment of the candidate’s skills and behaviours. As the IEPA, you will be responsible for delivering the End-point Assessment, making judgements about the standards they have achieved, logging assessment for audit, and overall ensuring the quality assurance and decisions made against the assessment outcomes are just.

It is important that you refer to the detailed PERSON SPECIFICATION(S) embedded in this advert for full information on what your application will need to demonstrate. You must read this carefully, as well as the instructions on the website link above, mapping your application to these key documents. You'll need to demonstrate how you meet the requirements of the person specification(s) – your application will be stronger if you can demonstrate mapping to multiple person specifications/standards. Your application should therefore include your CV, CPD log and all other relevant details set out in the person specification(s).
