Help required - Revenue and Benefit Practitioners
South West Council have been approved to deliver the End-Point Assessment for the relatively new Revenues & Welfare Benefits Practitioner apprenticeship. We are currently in the process of producing the assessment materials and the Assessors’ guidance and we need subject matter experts to help write scenarios. What we require is a bank of case study scenarios (around 6 of each). For each case study scenario provided, we also need a marking sheet identifying:
1. An Evidence Submission List (ESL) as an exemplar
2. Three questions for each case study
3. Answers to the 3 questions for the Assessor to use as a marking guide
We anticipate this piece of work would take a subject matter expert around 2 days to complete and can offer a fee of £175 per day. We would like to have the work completed by the end of April 2019.
