Are you an experienced Health and Social Care SVQ Assessor? Do you want to join an award-winning, friendly, and experienced team? If so, then we have the perfect role for you!
We've got a great opportunity for a motivated and experienced SVQ Assessor to join us covering SVQ assessments across Scotland on a full-time, permanent basis.
Our Assessor role can be based in one of our offices across Scotland (Irvine, Dumbarton, Glasgow, Airdrie, Dundee, Aberdeen, Peterhead, Galashiels, or Elgin) as part of our hybrid flexible working model. We will also need you to have flexibility to travel across Scotland when required.
The Role
As part of our Training Academy, you’ll play a key role in qualifying our social care workforce and supporting our team of SVQ Assessors in our Qualifications Scotland (formally SQA) Approved Centre, which has been in operation since 1998. You will assess portfolios for the Social Services and Healthcare qualifications at SCQF levels 6, 7, and also ideally Core Skills, Business & Administration, and PDA in Supervision awards.
You’ll be responsible for prioritising your own workload and planning your week to enable you to assess candidates through technology (eportfolio, MS teams) as well as providing some face-to-face support. You will work with candidates from induction to award completion, using your initiative to support them to meet Qualifications Scotland standards, agreed deadlines, and organisational KPI’s.
