We’re looking for an Assessor to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis (37 hours per week). This is a primarily remote role, with occasional, pre-planned travel within the UK.

Total People are a specialist training provider delivering professional HR qualifications accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development at Levels 3, 5 and 7. Our learners are working professionals balancing study alongside full-time roles, so high-quality, flexible support is central to what we do.

This role focuses on assessment, feedback, and learner support. You’ll use your HR knowledge to evaluate assignments, guide learners, and help maintain the quality and credibility of our qualifications.

Whether you’re early in your career, transitioning into education, or already experienced in teaching or assessment, we welcome applications from candidates with a strong interest in developing others.

What you’ll be doing:

• Mark and assess HR-related assignments using clear, standardised criteria
• Provide timely, constructive, and actionable feedback to support learner progress
• Support learners through 1:1 tutorials (phone/video), email, and our online learning platform
• Monitor learner engagement and follow up where submissions are missed or require resubmission
• Ensure consistency, fairness, and accuracy across all marking activity
• Maintain accurate assessment records and meet agreed turnaround times
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to resolve assessment queries and maintain quality standards
• Contribute to ongoing quality assurance processes and continuous improvement

What we’re looking for:

Essential:

• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to give clear and developmental feedback
• Good working knowledge of HR principles and practices
• A Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development qualification, or willingness to work towards one (support available—please ask at interview)

• Commitment to continuing professional development

Desirable:

• Experience marking assessments or providing structured feedback
• Teaching, tutoring, or coaching experience
• Relevant degree (HR, Business, Education, or similar)
• Assessor or internal quality assurance qualifications

What you can expect in the role:

• A structured caseload of learners (details discussed at interview)
• Clear expectations around marking turnaround times and performance standards
• A mix of independent work (marking, feedback) and learner interaction
• Ongoing support and development as you build your assessment skills

Benefits:

• 34 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays, plus birthday day off
• Autoenrolment to a workplace pension scheme
• Retail Discounts
• Employee Assistance Program
