Main Purpose of Position
The Group Quality Lead / Internal Quality Assurer is a full-time role within the Quality Team, with responsibilities divided approximately equally between Group Quality Leadership and Internal Quality Assurance.
The postholder will play a key role in maintaining and improving the quality of teaching, learning, assessment and learner experience across the organisation. We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with professional or educational experience within the performing arts sector. While this is not an essential requirement, it would be a significant advantage given the nature of our provision and the current expertise within our Quality Team.
The role brings together two complementary areas of quality activity:
Group Quality Lead (GQL) (50%) – providing challenge, support and leadership to drive continuous improvement in teaching, learning, assessment and learner outcomes.
Internal Quality Assurer (50%) – providing robust assurance that assessment and quality processes are effective, consistent and compliant with organisational, awarding organisation and regulatory requirements.
The successful candidate will be an experienced education professional who can move confidently between strategic quality improvement and detailed quality assurance. They will use evidence, professional judgement and constructive challenge to identify strengths, manage risk and support sustainable improvement.
A key expectation of the role is to ensure that quality assurance is not viewed simply as a compliance exercise, but as a means of improving the experience, progress and outcomes of learners.
