About the role

We’re seeking an Independent End Point Assessor (IEPA) within Early Years and Education to join our End Point Assessment team. As an IEPA, you’ll play an integral part in the success of apprentices by supporting them in taking the assessments for their apprenticeship and grading their assessments. This is therefore a great opportunity to use your professional skills and knowledge whilst developing others.

Added to this, you’ll be working at the forefront of End Point Assessment, as NCFE works with Independent Training Providers, Further Education Colleges, and Employment Providers to drive valuable partnerships across the developing world of Apprenticeships and EPA.

We’ll also support you whilst you work towards an Assessor qualification.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Delivering EPA in line with the Early Years and Education Standards
• Utilising NCFE Apprenticeship Services EPA platform to record EPAs and interact with apprentices
• Attending standardisation events to ensure quality, compliance, and consistency
• Communicating with apprentices, ITPs, and employers on EPA and grading

We’d love to hear from you if you offer the following:

• A recognised Assessor qualification (or the commitment to work towards)
• At least 3 years’ occupational competency within the Early Years and/or Education sectors
• Experience of producing clear and accurate reports
• Good IT skills
• A full valid driving licence as travel is essential

If you become a flexible worker with us, you’ll choose how to fit your work around your other personal and professional commitments – making this a great opportunity to make a difference in a way that suits you.

You’ll receive full training and the materials, tools, or equipment needed to ensure you’re able to complete your duties in line with NCFE requirements, with the ability to take on a flexible worker contract alongside other work, without the need to be registered as self-employed.

All applicants will be expected to adhere to NCFE’s behavioural framework and to uphold our core values.
