Scrutineer - iAL - Physics

As we continue to transition to a digital environment, we know that it's essential to revisit and update our approaches to assessment delivery. Our aim is to create a more modern assessment delivery system that sets us up for the future, supports our Senior Associates better in their roles by building associate capacity across the system, further supports our customers, and delivers the best outcomes for learners.

As part of a programme of modernisation, we are updating our senior associate roles and responsibilities across our qualifications.

We are the UK's largest awarding body, offering qualifications that are globally recognised and benchmarked, with educational excellence rooted in a range of General and Vocational courses.

We would like to invite you to apply for one of these roles.
