I'm currently working with a well-established and highly respected training provider within the engineering sector to recruit an experienced Lead Internal Quality Assurer (IQA).

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation that is genuinely committed to developing its people, maintaining exceptional quality standards, and making a real impact on learner outcomes.

As the Lead IQA, you'll take ownership of internal quality assurance across a broad range of engineering programmes.

You'll be responsible for ensuring that all assessment activities are robust, consistent, and compliant with awarding body standards, while also supporting and developing a team of IQAs, trainers, and assessors.

This is a key leadership role where you'll play a central part in driving quality improvement and embedding best practice across the provision.

• Lead internal quality assurance processes across training and assessment delivery
• Ensure compliance with awarding organisations such as EAL, City & Guilds, ECITB, TWI, JTL (CompEx), and Pearson Edexcel
• Oversee standardisation activities and support continuous improvement
• Provide guidance and support to assessors, trainers, and IQAs
• Maintain integrity, fairness, and consistency in assessment decisions

To be successful, you'll need:

• Proven experience in an IQA role within a training provider or education setting
• A recognised IQA qualification (e.g. Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance or equivalent)
• A teaching qualification
• Engineering qualifications to at least Level 3
• Strong understanding of awarding organisation requirements and EQA processes
• Experience leading standardisation and driving quality improvements
• Strong interpersonal, organisational, and IT skills
• A solid engineering or technical background

You'll be joining an organisation that truly values its staff and offers an excellent benefits package, including:

• 42 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Private healthcare and life insurance
• Company performance-related bonus
• Pension scheme (5% employee / 7% employer contribution)
• Branded workwear
• Ongoing professional development and training
• Health and wellbeing support, including wellness initiatives and health checks

Working hours are Monday-Thursday 8:00-16:15 and Friday 8:00-16:00, with some flexibility required.

• Based in Hull, with travel to other sites required
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential

This organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of learners. All successful applicants will be subject to a DBS check.

They are also passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive workplace where everyone can thrive.

If you're an experienced IQA looking to step into a lead role (or already operating at that level) and want to be part of an organisation that values quality, development, and people, I'd love to hear from you.
