We would be interested in considering applications to take up these positions as a secondment opportunity of up to two years for all roles.

Leading on key projects, you will be involved in a wide range of different work.

Your work will be high profile and influential and you will play a lead role in qualifications review and reform.

About You

- Experience of working at a management level in a regulatory, qualifications development or quality assurance context
- Experience in the qualifications, education or training sectors
- Experience of managing or leading projects or programmes of work
