We are seeking a new external examiner for the taught modules within a part-time Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care programme. The external examiner will be responsible for contributing to the quality assurance of the programme.
The role will involve being an external examiner across 5 assessed modules at level 8.
You will be involved in the approval of assessment tasks, moderation of student work, and the completion of an annual report.
