As a Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) approved assessment centre we have a long record of achieving high grades for our delivery methods across awards in social care and childcare, including Vocational qualifications and Professional Development Awards.

We work with a variety of organisations from education centres to statutory, private and voluntary organisations providing services in social care and childcare. The quality of our assessment processes, and the support we offer to candidates, has been fundamental to our success for over 40 years.

We are currently looking for qualified Peripatetic Assessors (L&D 9DI) to join our Childcare team. The role will involve tutoring and assessing school pupils in East Lothian undertaking the Social Services Children and Young People Foundation Apprenticeship. Classes are held in one of the local High Schools and all placements are within East Lothian. Within the Foundation Apprenticeship, pupils cover units from the National Progression Award along with part of the Social Services Children and Young People SCQF 6 (SVQ2). The Foundation Apprenticeship runs from August to May each year.

Alongside this role, there is an opportunity to support candidates through their SVQ award in Social Services Children and Young People SCQF 7 (SVQ3) and a Social Services Children and Young People SCQF 9 (SVQ9).

We may consider unqualified assessors, however, childcare and teaching young people is desirable.

The role provides an opportunity to continue to develop knowledge and understanding around the assessment process as well as the skills required to motivate and support staff in their professional development.

Experience working in childcare services along with the necessary qualifications to register with the SSSC are essential. We offer competitive rates of pay - £16.50 to £18 per hour for assessment.

The role would suit a variety of applicants seeking to earn on a self-employed basis at a capacity that suits them. You may already have a part time role and be looking for an additional opportunity to develop your career; you may have family commitments that mean you have limited time available or be approaching retirement but be keen to continue to work flexible hours.
