The School of Health at Leeds Beckett University is looking to appoint 1 External Examiner for our undergraduate, postgraduate, and degree apprenticeship Youth Work courses. The post is from 1 November 2026 for four years.
Applicants should be working in UK Higher Education with experience of teaching and examining at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels. A professionally recognised qualification in youth and community work is essential, together with understanding or experience of Degree Apprenticeship delivery and assessment.
External Examiners attend Board of Examiners meetings at least once a year, submit an annual report and review coursework. Previous experience of external examining is not necessary as the University will provide online induction training and a mentor. The appointment is subject to approval by the University’s Scrutiny process.
Due to potential reciprocity issues, we are unable to appoint from the following institutions:
- Institute for Children, Youth and Mission
- Manchester City Council
- University of Derby
- University of Lancashire, Preston College
