NEC is looking to recruit experienced Early Years assessors to support students on our NCFE CACHE Early Years courses. 

This post requires commitment for 1-2 days a week throughout the year, and availability to do 3-5 visits per year, each visit being 3-4 days. Your application/CV should clearly explain how you intend to meet this commitment, around any current or continuing employment. 

NEC offers a range of NCFE CACHE qualifications at Level 1, 2 and 3. These are delivered online, and there is a face-to-face observation assessment for some of the courses. 

If you are interested in this opportunity, we would ask that you have the following: 

• A qualification in early years, ideally above Level 3. 
• A teaching or assessing qualification e.g. Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement 
• Experience of delivering early years courses in the classroom, within the last 5 years. 
• Experience of working in the early years sector, including working with babies. 
• GCSE English and Maths at Grade 5/B 
• Flexibility to do between 3 – 5 observation visits to learners per year. Visits could be in UK or in mainland Europe and will involve travel and often overnight stays. 
• Willingness to use online portfolio to assess work 
• Ability and willingness to evidence ongoing professional development 
• Ability to write clearly and fluently 

You should expect to have between 10 – 20 hours a week free to look after active learners. This will include responding to emails, making any phone calls, marking work and preparing paperwork for observations and planning.
