T Level Examiner- Legal

<strong>What are T Levels?<br><br></strong>T Levels are new courses coming in September 2020, which will follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses, so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work. T Levels will offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 45 days. They will provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door into skilled employment, further study or a higher apprenticeship.<br><br><strong>The Role<br><br></strong>The T Level Examiner role is an excellent opportunity to earn some extra money in a contract role, alongside any full-time commitments you may have, whilst also developing your career in education. T-Level Examiners mark candidate responses in accordance with a pre-defined mark scheme, whilst adhering to the Code of Practice and published examination procedures. Assessments will be marked either onscreen using ePEN, which can be completed from home, or by the traditional method, using paper scripts sent through the post. A high level of contemporary subject knowledge is necessary in order to apply the mark scheme. Each examiner will receive an agreed allocation of scripts. Some national travel may be required to attend examiner training and standardisation. We have opportunities available to mark Core Paper 1: Digital Analysis, Legislation and Emerging Issues, Core Paper 2: The Business Environment and Employer Set Project.<br><br><strong>Responsibilities<br><br></strong><ul><li>To mark accurately and consistently to ensure overall standards are maintained.</li><li>To submit samples to your Team Leader at designated times.</li><li>To ensure milestones for marking are adhered to.</li><li>To ensure all administration is completed as specified.</li><li>To attend standardisation</li><li>To regularly mark scripts during the Summer Series and/or Autumn Series<br><br></li></ul><strong>Essential<br><br></strong><ul><li>You will hold a minimum of one year’s teaching and assessment experience or equivalent in<br><br></li></ul>Law and/or Business Law at Level 3<br><br><ul><li>You will have a degree or equivalent work-based qualification such as a Level 5/6/7 NVQ in<br><br></li></ul>Law/Business Law (or other related) or membership of a relevant professional body such as<br><br>the The Law Society, The Solicitors Regulatory Authority, The Industrial Law Society<br><br><ul><li>Be fully conversant with the requirements of the T Level Legal specification and with the<br><br></li></ul>standards and regulations involved in the industry<br><br><strong>Desirable<br><br></strong>You may be a qualified teacher or hold an equivalent teaching qualification such as Cert Ed,<br><br>C&G 7404, PTTLLS, CTLLS, DTLLS or an Assessor/Verifier award<br><br><ul><li>You may have recent occupational experience in one of the following job or occupational<br><br></li></ul><strong>Titles/areas<br><br></strong><ul><li>corporate, employment or financial law</li><li>chartered/company secretary</li><li>the Civil Service</li><li>investment banking</li><li>tax consultancy</li><li>legal publishing</li><li>loss adjusting</li><li>compliance office<br><br></li></ul><strong>Competencies Required<br><br></strong><ul><li>You will have the ability to work well under pressure</li><li>You will have the ability to meet deadlines</li><li>You will have a high level of subject knowledge in order to apply the mark scheme<br><br></li></ul><strong>Additional Information<br><br></strong>If you do have teaching experience within the last 8 years, please ensure you list this under 'Occupational Experience'<br><br><strong>About Pearson<br><br></strong>Welcome to Pearson, the world's leading learning company.
