We put the apprentice at the centre of everything we do, because wherever learning flourishes, so do people. Find out more about how we can help you and your learners at (url removed). \n \nWe are also looking for Independent End-Point Assessors for the following standards:\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Assistant Practitioner (Health) Level 5 \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Assistant Practitioner (Health) Level 5 (Norfolk areas only) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Assistant Practitioner (Health) Level 5 (North of England and Suffolk/Essex) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship- Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Diagnostic Imaging Support (Level 3 )\n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Adult Nursing Support (Level 3) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Allied Health Profession Therapy (Level 3) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Maternity Support (Level 3) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Children and Young People's Support (Level 3) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker - Mental Health Support (Level 3) \n\n End Point Assessor - Apprenticeship - Senior Healthcare Support Worker Theater Support (Level 3) 2020 \n\nOverview of the independent end-point assessor role \n \nGovernment has introduced a requirement that all apprenticeships contain an end-point assessment (EPA) which is a holistic assessment of the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviour (KSBs) that have been learnt throughout the apprenticeship. This is to make sure that apprentices meet the rigorous standard set by employers and are fully competent in the relevant occupation. Pearson must provide employers with the confidence that completing an apprenticeship means an individual is fully job-ready and that all apprentices, following the same standard, are assessed consistently, regardless of where they are undertaking their apprenticeship or who they are doing it with. \n \nAn independent EPA means that those deciding on the competency of the apprentice have nothing to gain from the outcome of the assessment. To maintain independence within the scope of this EPA, an independent end-point assessor (IEA) can only undertake end-point assessments of apprentices, with whom they have no conflict of interest. This means they must be independent of the registered apprenticeship training provider at which the apprentice completed their on-programme element and must not have been involved in the on-programme training, assessment, or line management of such apprentices. \n \nThe end-point assessments will be conducted onsite, or remotely, on dates agreed with employers and/or providers if appropriate. Independent end-point assessors will record and submit the EPA outcomes, with clear justifications for the grading decisions. EPA activities will be quality assured by Pearson quality assurance representatives. \n \nIEAs for these EPAs will be qualified IQAs that meet the occupational profile of the apprentices they are assessing and will be trained, standardised and approved to operate as IEAs. The IEAs will undertake EPAs in line with the associated apprenticeship assessment plan, and the materials provided by Pearson. Please see the below Key Accountabilities and Person Specification sections for further details. \n \nKey Accountabilities: \n \nThe independent end-point assessor will: \n Take part in regular training and standardisation activities, associated with the role of independent end-point assessor for this EPA. \n\n Maintain and provide evidence of ongoing, relevant Continuous Professional Development (CPD) \n\n Assess the performance of candidates in accordance with published assessment and grading criteria and procedures, ensuring overall standards are maintained. \n\n Follow the protocols set out in Pearson's specifications, assessment materials and quality assurance protocols, relating to the EPAs. \n\n Maintain service-level agreements with regards to responding to EPA planning, operational activities, reports and submissions of assessment outcomes \n\n Report all risks and issues encountered during the end-point assessment to Pearson, including any suspected malpractice/maladministration. \n\n Ensure all EPA reports and assessment evidence are high quality and recorded accurately. \n\n Support Pearson, if necessary, with any appeals from apprentices, regarding assessment decisions \n\n Allow additional time for travel, when making EPA arrangements \n\n Raise any conflicts of interest, including in relation to the independence of assessment. \n\n Ensure that any personal actions are completed, as required by Pearson. \n\n Contribute to the continuous improvement of Pearson's end-point assessment activities. \n\n Contribute to the external quality assurance activities undertaken by the Institute for Apprenticeships and technical Education (IFATE)\n\nPerson Specification\n \nOccupational Profile: \n \nHealthcare support workers (HCSWs) work as part of a team providing high quality and compassionate care to individuals. They carry out well-defined routine clinical duties like monitoring an individual's conditions (by checking things like blood pressure, temperature or weight), checking on their overall progress, comfort and wellbeing. Depending on where the HCSW works, they may also help individuals to eat, drink, wash, dress or go to the toilet. HSCWs prepare individuals for healthcare activities carried out by other members of the healthcare team, looking after them before, during and/or after those activities in line with their care plan. HCSWs will also carry out non-clinical duties and, depending on where they work, this could include things like keeping records, making beds, tidying up their work area, returning or cleaning the equipment used during a clinical activity. The HCSW will be able to address straightforward problems in their day to day work, reporting concerns and changes to the appropriate person in a timely manner. HCSWs work in a range of healthcare settings and their team may include workers from both health and social care. They will report to a registered healthcare practitioner who will directly or indirectly supervise their work.\n \nA HCSW will be able to work effectively as part of a team. A HCSW will always act within the limits of their competence, knowing who to ask for help and support if they are not sure. The HCSW will work within agreed ways of working, following the relevant standards, policies and protocols used in their workplace including the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers and Adult Social Care Workers in England. During the first part of this apprenticeship a HCSW will be supported to achieve the Care Certificate which forms part of their induction and covers the fundamental skills needed to provide quality care.\n \n 1 Profile drawn and adapted from Apprenticeship Standard for Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) which was approved 19th May 2016, reference: ST0216.
