Stirling, United Kingdom HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND Full time
About us We are the lead body for Scotland’s historic environment; a charity dedicated to the advancement of heritage, culture, education, and environmental protection. We’re at the forefront of researching and understanding the historic environment and addressing the impact of climate change on its future. We investigate and record architectural and archaeological sites and landscapes across Scotland and care for more than 300 properties of national importance. We have a People Strategy, which is an overarching strategy to ensure we support and develop staff within the organisation.

Overview of the role Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is seeking candidates for the permanent role of Technical Education and Training (TET) Quality Assurance Manager predominantly based within our dedicated building conservation centre, The Engine Shed, based in the centre of Stirling. Your role will be to lead, coordinate and logistically support accredited training carried out by the TET Department online and in its three training centres - the Elgin Skills Centre, Stirling Skills Centre, and the Engine Shed in Stirling. You will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of Quality Assurance operational standards and setting standard practices and processes. These practices and processes extend to ensuring there is a robust management information/data gathering mechanism in place.

Technical Education & Training (TET), part of the Cultural Assets Directorate (CA), provides leadership in the sector in championing knowledge, skills, and materials as being key to sustaining Scotland’s cultural heritage assets. We expand our collective knowledge and expertise through research and applied projects that set standards and provide learning outcomes. We are innovative in outlook and approach, and embrace the opportunities provided by digital technology, whilst using our traditions to provide solutions to today’s problems. We enable better stewardship through sharing our knowledge, skills and expertise through training, education, outreach & engagement, and through learning with and from others.

TET is a multidisciplinary team that delivers across four areas of operation: Vocational Training Programmes, Academic Training Programmes, Training and Qualification Development and Programme Management and Quality Assurance. The TET team has a wide-ranging offering which is continually expanding to support the needs of a diverse audience.

As well as being Scotland’s dedicated building conservation centre, the Engine Shed is an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Association) and NOCN (National Open College Network) approved training centre and many of the qualifications we offer are accredited through these awarding bodies (for example Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings; Diploma in Planning, Surveying and Recording the Condition of Built Assets for Conservation; Modern Apprenticeship in Stonemasonry). As Quality Assurance Manager you will be responsible for working with colleagues across the team to ensure the necessary quality assurance systems, resources, processes, practices, and policies are in place and adhered to in line with the relevant awarding body’s requirements. You will also be responsible for working with our delivery partners, including Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), Forth Valley College and ensuring our provider obligations are met and we maximise on partnership opportunities.

You will line manage the Programme Delivery Officer and together you will lead, coordinate, and logistically support the delivery of accredited training throughout the learner journey whether online or onsite at one of our three training centres.

About you This is a newly created post in recognition of our expanding portfolio of accredited training. We are looking to enhance our existing suite of approved documentation, implement robust management information; replace manual processes with fit for purpose systems and build our student support services. This is an exciting time to join the team. The role would suit a highly motivated, highly organised, professional, and outgoing individual with excellent networking and influencing skills. We are looking someone who has great attention to detail and who strives to deliver excellent customer service and continually improve.

As you will be the named and responsible Quality Assurance personnel for our approved centre status with SQA and NOCN and as such, you must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of the quality assurance process and procedures required to deliver accredited training and educational activity across the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework and other educational frameworks. You can find out more about why you may be the perfect candidate for this role by finding this role on our vacancy page.
