Garforth Academy are looking to appoint a NCFE CACHE T Levels Education & Childcare Assessor to join our academy team at Easter 2023 on a casual as and when required basis (Monday and Tuesday availability is essential).
As a successful and dynamic Academy, Garforth is an exciting place to learn and a great place to work. If you choose to come and join us, you will become part of a well-established, talented and committed team of staff.
The role
As the T Levels Education & Childcare Assessor, you will be supporting students in their achievement of their licence to practice Early Years Educator qualification. Initially as this is the academy’s first year of providing the T level qualification, this will be a temporary casual working pattern but has the potential to become a substantive and permanent position in the academy in the future.
You will assess individual students within early years settings, preparing them for formal assessment and achievement of the Early Years Educator Occupational Specialism. You will lead and document the assessment process and liaise with the teaching team and the early years settings supervisors. You will maintain and plan the nursery training room to enable students to prepare for assessment.
If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position then we would very much like to hear from you.
