About Us

South Ayrshire has a wonderful environment that sets it apart from other parts of Scotland and makes it an extremely desirable place to live, work and visit. Situated

in the southwest of Scotland on the beautiful Clyde Coast, the area is home to around 112,450 people.

While the majority of residents live in the coastal towns of Troon, Prestwick and Ayr, around one third live in the smaller towns of Maybole and Girvan or in rural areas stretching from Symington in the north to Ballantrae and Loch Ryan in the south.

South Ayrshire possesses beautiful scenery, both coastal and rural, as well as a wealth of cultural heritage, castles and historic buildings. These include Culzean Castleand Country Park near Maybole and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and Burns Cottage in Alloway.

The area is renowned for having some of the finest golf courses in the world, including the prestigious Royal Troon and Turnberry. Scotland's premier horse racing

centre, Ayr Racecourse, is based in Ayr and offers more racing days than any other Scottish course, including the Scottish Grand National and Ayr Gold Cup.

Given our coastal location, there are also plenty of opportunities to pursue water sports. Troon's picturesque harbour attracts many visitors and yachting enthusiasts

who can enjoy the first-class facilities of the Troon Yacht Haven, one of the Clyde's leading sailing centres.

**Independent end-point assessor for Community Health and Wellbeing Worker (Level 3)**
**About Pearson**
**Pearson is the world's leading learning company, with 35,000 employees in more than 70 countries working to help people of all ages to make measurable progress in their lives through learning. 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 qualifications.pearson.com**
**Overview of the independent end-point assessor role**
**Government 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.**
**An 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.**
**The 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.**
**IEAs 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.**
**Key Accountabilities:**
**The independent end-point assessor will:**
+ **Take part in regular training and standardisation activities, associated with the role of independent end-point assessor for this EPA**
+ **Maintain and provide evidence of ongoing, relevant Continuous Professional Development (CPD)**
+ **Assess the performance of candidates in accordance with published assessment and grading criteria and procedures, ensuring overall standards are maintained**
+ **Follow the protocols set out in Pearson's specifications, assessment materials and quality assurance protocols, relating to the EPAs**
+ **Maintain service-level agreements with regards to responding to EPA planning, operational activities, reports and submissions of assessment outcomes**
+ **Report all risks and issues encountered during the end-point assessment to Pearson, including any suspected malpractice/maladministration**
+ **Ensure all EPA reports and assessment evidence are high quality and recorded accurately**
+ **Support Pearson, if necessary, with any appeals from apprentices, regarding assessment decisions**
+ **Allow additional time for travel, when making EPA arrangements**
+ **Raise any conflicts of interest, including in relation to the independence of assessment**
+ **Ensure that any personal actions are completed, as required by Pearson**
+ **Contribute to the continuous improvement of Pearson's end-point assessment activities**
+ **Contribute to the external quality assurance activities undertaken by the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA).**
**Person Specification**
**This occupation is found in different organisations and is commissioned by a range of agencies, including local government, the NHS, and other funders such as voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.**
**Community Health and Wellbeing Workers are a rapidly expanding workforce supporting the increasing emphasis across government departments on improving the health of local people and communities by preventing poor health and tackling inequalities. Their work is informed by the wider social determinants of health, such as the social, cultural, political, economic, commercial and environmental factors that shape the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.**
**The broad purpose of the occupation is to work in partnership with individuals and their communities to identify and address health and wellbeing needs, improve health, prevent ill-health and reduce inequalities. To do this, Community Health and Wellbeing Workers need to:**

+ **work with individuals, groups and communities to identify what matters to them, building on their strengths to improve health and wellbeing.**
+ **understand the local and accessible services and resources available to which people in the community can be signposted to support their health and wellbeing needs.**
+ **identify gaps in available services and resources preventing individuals and communities from achieving optimal health and wellbeing.**
+ **build relationships with local organisations and groups.**
**Occupational Profiles:**
**Background and Experience (essential):**
+ **Current relevant occupational competence within the workplace for at least 2 yrs.**
+ **Knowledge and understanding of Community Health and Wellbeing.**
+ **Qualified with a relevant qualification/s at or above the level they are assessing**
+ **Experience of leading meetings/structured interviews/discussions**
+ **Experience of complying with quality assurance/regulatory requirements**
+ **Evidence of commitment to maintaining CPD, in line with new apprenticeship requirements and the EPA specialism**
+ **Assessing Qualification**

+ **Minimum of two working days during the week will be required for EPA role.**
