Summary

Job Details:

Do you enjoy bringing learning to life, supporting learners to achieve confident, credible outcomes, and making sure training is closely connected to real-world work? If so, you could be the T Level Assessor we’re looking for.

Cross Campus is where learners come to grow, prepare for progression, and build the knowledge and skills employers value. In this role, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring assessments are fair, rigorous and learner-centred—helping learners move confidently towards higher education or successful careers.

Why this role matters

Our core strategy is Career-Focused Learning. That means placing the student experience and our connections with the community, local businesses and regional employers right at the centre of everything we do.

As a T Level Assessor, you’ll be part of the team that helps learners turn ambition into achievement. You’ll guide them through the assessment process, ensure standards are met, and support clear, timely feedback so learners understand exactly what success looks like.

What you’ll do

Plan and deliver T Level assessments in line with programme requirements, ensuring assessments are consistent, transparent and occupationally relevant.

Assess learner evidence fairly and accurately, applying judgement against published criteria and documentation.

Maintain high-quality assessment records and ensure documentation is complete, compliant and easily auditable.

Provide constructive feedback that is actionable and motivating, helping learners improve their work and confidence.

Support learner progress by identifying development needs early and signposting appropriate guidance and resources.

Work collaboratively with teaching teams, internal quality staff and curriculum colleagues to maintain standards across cohorts.

Engage with employers and community connections where appropriate, ensuring learning and assessment remain aligned with current practice.

Participate in quality assurance activity including standardisation, moderation and improvement planning.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring a strong grasp of assessment practice and a commitment to fairness. You’ll also have the confidence to support learners through assessment in a way that is clear, professional and encouraging.

While experience with T Levels is a real advantage, what matters most is your ability to:

assess using criteria and make robust, defensible decisions

support learners with feedback that drives improvement

work to deadlines and maintain accurate documentation

contribute to quality assurance and continuous improvement

build supportive relationships with learners and colleagues

You may come from an occupational background with assessor or internal quality roles, from a teaching/learning environment where you’ve assessed learners’ work against recognised standards or just an industry expert who knows what employers in the sector are looking for and are willing to work towards an Assessor qualification. If you’re passionate about learning that connects to real opportunities, we want to hear from you.

Skills and qualities

Strong communication, with the ability to explain assessment expectations in a learner-friendly way

Attention to detail and confidence in maintaining accurate records

Professional judgement and fairness when evaluating evidence

Organisation and resilience in a busy curriculum environment

Commitment to safeguarding and learner wellbeing

A positive, approachable style that encourages learners to keep going

What it feels like to be part of the team

This is a role for someone who likes structure and purpose. You’ll be supported by colleagues who care about learner outcomes, quality and improvement. Your voice matters, whether you’re contributing to assessment planning, supporting staff development, or helping learners feel prepared and supported throughout the assessment journey.

Most importantly, you’ll see the direct impact of your work: learners taking confident steps towards progression and careers.
