End-Point Assessor – Healthcare
Location: Newcastle
Contract: Freelance, ad-hoc assignments
Salary: Negotiable
Are you a healthcare professional looking to share your expertise in a new way? As an Independent End-Point Assessor (EPA), you’ll step into a vital role within the apprenticeship journey – independently assessing and grading learners to ensure they are fully prepared for their future careers in healthcare. This is not a frontline care position. Instead, you’ll use your knowledge and experience to evaluate competence, provide fair and consistent judgments, and play a key part in raising the standard of healthcare education.
