At LASER, we're looking for experienced and motivated Quality and Curriculum Reviewers (QCRs) / External Quality Assurers (EQAs) to join our friendly and supportive Quality Team. You'll work closely with recognised centres to maintain high standards, provide guidance and support, and help ensure the integrity of our qualifications and services. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference, supporting centres to deliver the best possible outcomes for learners while contributing to excellence across the education and training sector.
This position is offered from 0.4 FTE (15 hours per week) up to full-time (37 hours per week).
Overview of the Role
We are seeking experienced and knowledgeable professionals to join our Quality Team as External Quality Assurers on a permanent basis, supporting our quality assurance activities throughout the year as required.
In this role, you will play a vital part in maintaining the integrity of our qualifications. Working closely with recognised centres, you will help ensure that assessment decisions are valid, reliable, consistent and fully aligned with national standards and regulatory requirements. Your expertise will contribute to maintaining high-quality learner outcomes while supporting centres to continuously improve their practices.
As an External Quality Assurer, you will undertake a range of quality assurance activities, including conducting external quality assurance visits, audits and assessment sampling. You will review assessment and internal quality assurance systems, evaluate compliance against regulatory and organisational requirements, and provide constructive feedback designed to support continuous improvement.

As part of your wider responsibilities within the Quality Team, you will contribute to qualification development and ongoing quality improvement activities, supporting the continuous enhancement of our qualifications and services. You will also support malpractice investigations, standardisation events, the monitoring of Direct Claims Status (DCS) and Approved Internal Quality Assurer (AIQA) status where required, helping to safeguard the integrity of assessment and ensure continued compliance with regulatory and organisational requirements.
A key part of the role involves building positive and productive relationships with centres.
