We are currently seeking an experienced individual to join our research team as a senior psychometric researcher supporting AlphaPlus projects, leading certain whole projects and parts of larger projects. The postholder will provide high quality psychometric outputs as part of AlphaPlus’s educational research and consultancy services.
AlphaPlus is an education service business specialising in standards, assessment and certification.

We do this by helping our clients design, develop, deploy and evaluate qualifications and their underpinning assessments. Our work spans the public and private sectors, schools, colleges, vocational and professional learning. We have a core team of 66 staff primarily based in our Manchester head office, and in addition draw upon a team of approximately 800 associates.
The senior psychometric researcher will be a specialist in the technical area of assessment statistics, with experience of delivering assessment research work in education, ideally in an awarding organisation or other assessment organisation.

The position is permanent, full-time working 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday and is Manchester office-based. The successful candidate is expected to reside within/relocate to commuting distance from the office. A relocation package is offered if required.
Job share/other flexible working arrangements may be considered for the right candidate(s). Any such preferences should be indicated at the early application stage and can be discussed further at interview. The company offers hybrid working (two days per week minimum in the office, with three days working at home). The exact allocation of office-based days is decided by the appointee's manager, although flexibility remains our policy and approach. A relocation package is available if appropriate.
The role may occasionally involve some national travel, working in company and customer offices, with the possibility of international travel.
Benefits include:
* discretionary profit related bonus scheme
* NEST workplace pension scheme – tier 1
* enhanced sick pay cover
* enhanced maternity/parental leave
* 25 days paid leave plus the eight statutory bank holidays
