London, United Kingdom Pearson Full time

**Job description: Lead IQA - EPA Delivery - HR support**

**About Pearson**

**Overview of end-point assessment**

Government has introduced a requirement that all apprenticeships contain an end-point assessment (EPA) which is a holistic assessment of the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviour (KSBs) that have been learnt throughout the apprenticeship. This is to make sure that apprentices meet the rigorous standard set by employers and are fully competent in the relevant occupation. Pearson must provide employers with the confidence that completing an apprenticeship means an individual is fully job-ready and that all apprentices, following the same standard, are assessed consistently, regardless of where they are undertaking their apprenticeship or who they are doing it with.

The Lead IQA will perform leadership duties to ensure safe, valid and accurate assessment decisions are made from their allocated team of independent end-point assessors (IEAs) and IQAs. The Lead IQA will also undertake nominated duties, as directed by Pearson, to ensure the guidelines set by external quality assurance organisations are adhered to.

Please see the below Key Accountabilities and Person Specification sections for further details.

**Key accountabilities**:

- Contribute to the recruitment and training of new IEAs within the allocated team

- Provide advice/guidance to IEAs when using electronic systems.
- Contribute to the formative/summative RAG ratings of IEAs within allocated team.
- Contribute to ongoing analysis, lessons learned and continuous improvement.
- Provide guidance, recommendation and support to key internal and external stakeholders such as hosting EPA webinars (New to EPA, Steps to Success et al).
- Maintain accurate records to withstand internal audit and external quality audit.
- Take an active role in own professional development.
- Maintain service level agreements and take corrective action where service level agreements are due to breach.
- Adhere and implement all Pearson and regulatory policies, procedures and guidance documents.
- Support with enquiries and appeals, as required.
- Produce a quarterly report based on feedback from team leaders, internal quality assurers and IEAs to identify any trends.
- Identify, report and escalate any risks which could compromise the validity and accuracy of any end-point assessment.
