  • Review learner portfolios, assessment documentation, practical evidence and assessor feedback to ensure internal and external standards are met.
  • Escalate quality concerns where assessment practice, learner progress or compliance requirements fall below expected standards.
  • Keep up to date with awarding body guidance, qualification requirements and relevant occupational standards across gas, plumbing and heating.
  • Work collaboratively with tutors, assessors, programme managers and senior leaders to improve assessment quality and learner outcomes.
  • Act as a subject matter expert for gas assessment standards, while also supporting quality and consistency across relevant plumbing and heating provision.

  • Experience working as an IQA, Internal Verifier or in a quality assurance role within gas and/or plumbing vocational training.
  • Strong understanding of assessment practice, IQA sampling, standardisation and awarding body compliance.
  • Experience supporting assessors to improve assessment quality and maintain consistent standards.
  • Good working knowledge of learner portfolios, practical assessment evidence, assessor feedback and qualification criteria.
  • Strong technical knowledge of the building services sector, particularly domestic gas, with supporting knowledge of plumbing and heating.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong IT and administration skills, with the ability to maintain accurate tracking records and quality assurance documentation.
