Description

The UK National Agency is seeking to appoint a pool of External Assessors. To assess funding applications and project reports submitted under the Erasmus+ programme. The scope of the assessments will include Key Actions 1 and 2 for HE, VET, AE, and Schools. In Youth KA3 is also included.

Applicants need to have knowledge and expertise in the sector(s) of the programme, for which they wish to assess. Vocational Education and Training (VET), Adult Education, Higher Education, Schools and Youth.

Tenders are invited from experienced individuals with knowledge and expertise of these sectors in the UK and Europe. The role of the assessors is essential to ensure fair, impartial, consistent and accurate assessment of project applications and reports. The NA uses the feedback and scores provided by the assessors to make award decisions and to assist applicants to improve the quality of applications and reports. It is therefore essential that applicants for this role also have a proven track record of high-quality, customer-focused assessment of major funding applications and project reports.
Training will be provided to all successful assessors who are available to start work promptly and can demonstrate availability through the assessment periods. The successful applicants will be accountable to the British Council and Ecorys UK, the UK National Agency for Erasmus+.
