Job Requisition ID: 13640
Business Unit: OCR
Location: United Kingdom
Posted Date: 17 Sep 2024
Task: Moderator
Units: R060 - R070/01,02
About the role
As a moderator, you’ll be looking at samples of candidates’ coursework to ensure that a centre’s marking is accurate and consistent. You’ll be part of a team and work closely with your team leader.
For remote moderation, either the centre will post samples of coursework to you or you’ll download them from a central repository.
We’ll ensure you are fully trained to understand the moderation process and your part in it. There will also be standardisation activities to make sure you can apply the marking criteria consistently.
The amount of work involved will vary depending on the mode of moderation and the level of the qualification.
Typically, the window for remote moderation is around four weeks long and falls within the period May to June. You would generally moderate around 16 centres with about six samples per centre. We’ll quote specific details and fees when we offer you a moderation task.
What we’re looking for
* A teaching qualification or a degree in a related subject.
* Relevant teaching experience within the last three years. We also consider PGCE students who have completed the classroom teaching element of their course.
* Previous or current teaching experience within the UK education system.
* The ability to use IT confidently and effectively.
You don’t need to be teaching the OCR specification of your subject. We would also be interested in people with current or previous experience of working for other examination boards.
To undertake moderation, you will need to be resident in the UK.
You will need to provide details of two referees we can contact in support of your application. We will also carry out right to work checks if you are a UK-based applicant.
Benefits
* You’ll gain insight into the assessment system and build confidence in supporting your students as they learn and prepare for assessment.
* It’s a great opportunity for continuing professional development, enhancing your current role and contributing to your future career progression.
* It will help keep your subject and specification knowledge up to date.
* You can fit work around your regular teaching job and your existing home and work commitments.
* You’ll supplement your income.
* You’ll have the opportunity to network with fellow professionals.
