• Coach colleagues, including new or less experienced assessors, and support induction where requested.
• Plan and organise workloads to use time effectively and maximise revenue-generating activity.
• Undertake the required onboarding pathway to progress toward Lead Assessor status.
• Demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for standardised assessments and audit practice.
• Manage a portfolio of clients based on location, qualifications, and contract requirements.
