Introduction

You'll join AQA at a pivotal point as we expand our vocational portfolio in response to major national reform. There are now several organisations within AQA Group, including TQUK, that are delivering and supporting high-quality vocational education, which gives us a strong foundation to develop new qualifications and apprenticeships. This is a high judgement role operating across the Group in a fast moving and still evolving landscape, where clarity is often emerging rather than settled.

You'll bring strong understanding of vocational, FE and skills contexts, alongside the confidence to work through ambiguity and reform. Your focus will be on assurance, challenge and alignment - helping AQA Group take well judged decisions as we design and deliver new vocational qualifications and apprenticeships.

You'll provide expert oversight across AQA's vocational reform programme at a time when expectations from government, regulators, employers and sector bodies are increasing. Delivery will involve close working with vocational specialists across the Group, including in TQUK.

You'll sit at the cent...
