All assessors are employed on a Zero Hour Contract, providing work flexibility

Technical experts working on an assessment development project may be contracted on a specific contract. Where the technical expert is also an assessor on a zero-hours contract, they can carry out assessment development work under the zero-hours contract

Ideally yes, however we can support with gaining the relevant qualification for the relevant role, as long as you have current occupational competence within the subject area
Are the roles home based?
In some cases yes for example desk-based IQA and assessment writing/reviewing.

Some technical interviews may be carried out using Microsoft Teams and these can be done from home.
