Awarding and Assessment Organisation Recruitment
Finding ambitious and results-driven professionals who can transform leadership and inspire change in the awarding and assessment sector.
Recruiting specialists and leaders to support ambition and change within your awarding or assessment organisation.
Contact Kristina Preston to learn more!Our awarding recruitment team believe in the work done by awarding organisations, EPAOs, examination boards, professional institutes, and membership bodies across the UK.
In the face of changing policies and politics, awarding and assessment organisations continue to inspire thousands of people to see a different future for themselves, gaining the skills and qualifications they need to reach their aspirations and achieve social mobility through education.
You’re fighting for fairer access to high-quality education, skills and employment opportunities on a global scale.
We believe your organisations should represent the communities you serve. Your colleagues, from those in leadership roles to operational specialists, should support your ambitions and help you overcome the challenges you face.
That’s why we exist — to support ambitious and strategic awarding and assessment bodies to recruit the specialists and leaders needed to inspire change and development both internally and externally.
As Platinum Suppliers of the Federation of Awarding Bodies and proud Patrons of the Association of Employment and Learning Providers, we believe in giving back to the sector through supporting events and hosting webinars for awarding professionals.
