Marker

A Marker marks candidates’ work in line with detailed marking instructions and in accordance with our policy and procedures.

The role is to ensure consistent application of national standards when marking candidate submission(s).

These activities will be under the direction of the Principal Assessor or one of their senior team and colleagues from our Qualifications Development and or Operations business directorates as appropriate.

Outline of duties

• Attend appropriate standardisation meeting(s) as required.
• Mark to national standards in line with general marking instructions.
• Complete marking duties in accordance with specified procedures and timescales.
• Submit a detailed Marker report in accordance with specified procedures and timescales.

Selection criteria

Ideally markers should be delivering the qualification at the level they wish to mark and have at least one additional year of delivery experience (probation year can be included if the whole course has been delivered).*

The two years don’t have to be consecutive. If you’re not currently delivering the qualification, you must be able to demonstrate that you have in the previous two years.

*Please note: if you’re delivering on a part-time basis, you must have delivered the full course.
