Qualifications Manager

We are looking for a Qualifications Manager to be part of our Global Learning Lab, which catalyses innovative, high quality, accredited learning and development programmes through our global community of facilitators, staff and partners. This role is crucial to the Learning Lab, ensuring we retain our status as a City & Guilds ILM centre and continue to expand the Academy’s offering of credit rated programmes.

The Qualifications Manager will ensure Academy learners have access to and are supported to gain practice based formal qualifications as recognition for their learning. To achieve this, this role will support and guide the Academy in maintaining and developing the required stakeholder relationships and internal structures, processes and procedures to ensure our qualifications comply with Awarding Body requirements for local, national and international delivery. It will also involve supporting learners directly with the completion of their qualification.

There is additional scope for this role to include developing new credit-rated programmes for the Academy, and/or provide guidance and support to other organisations in the sector to accredit their own programmes, if desirable.

Having the right mind-set, attitude and approach is as important for us as having the right experience and skills. We appreciate that the best person might not have all the listed criteria yet, so if you feel your experience and skills will help you to make a great contribution in this role and you have the right mind-set, we would welcome an application from you.
