NOCN, a leading End Point Assessment organisation are looking for qualified Formworker assessors to assess apprentices in the final stages of their apprenticeships. 

Role Requirements
For this role, you must be currently working in the industry and be occupationally competent at a minimum of level 3, or equivalent, with a minimum 2 years’ post qualification experience in the last 5 years
The role of our End Point Assessors is to assess an apprentice’s competence and knowledge against the industry specific standards.

To be considered, our End Point Assessors must also have;
•Be currently working in the industry and be occupationally competent at a minimum of level 3, or equivalent, with a minimum 2 years’ post qualification experience in the last 5 years
• An assessor qualification (Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment, Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, A1 or D32/D33)

It would be desirable for our End Point Assessors to hold an Internal Verifiers Award (IQA Award – Level 4) qualification to enable them to moderate other assessors' assessment decisions but this is not a pre-requisite for these roles.

As a proud member of both Disability Confident and Inclusive Employers standard, we celebrate and recognise the benefits of equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. As such, we welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds, and should you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

How to apply

Please email a copy of your CV to eparecruitment@nocn.org.uk with the standard name in the subject title and also complete and send the Equal Opportunities Form attached.

Support
NOCN will provide training sessions for all our End Point Assessors through a variety of training methods such as webinars, briefings and updates which will ensure that they are kept up to date with qualification requirements and quality assurance procedures.

Additional Requirements
Our End Point Assessors will have excellent communication, organisation and planning skills in addition to good IT skills and be competent working with online reports.
Ongoing maintenance of their own Continuing Professional Development (CPD) will be required so that NOCN are confident their competency is up to date, in line with qualification requirements.

Time Commitment
It is difficult to make an accurate assessment of time commitments until we know more precisely the number of apprentices that will be requiring End Point Assessments. However, we are asking EPA Assessors to commit to a minimum of around 35 days per annum, if possible, which will include attendance at standardisation events.
Whilst some assessments will need to be conducted at employer or training provider premises, some of the work will be carried out remotely, which should make it easier for EPA Assessors to fit in their assessment work around other commitments. We are also appointing on a regional basis, which should minimise unnecessary travel time when carrying out on-site assessments.

NOCN Group is a Disability Confident Employer formally known as ‘Two Ticks’. This means that if you qualify as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 and you meet the minimum criteria outlined in the job specification, we guarantee you an interview.

Contract rate of pay
Please note, these are freelance contracted positions. The rate of pay will vary according to the nature of specific contracts, for example based upon the number of standards, sectors and levels.
