Context

The accreditation team is expanding due to the high interest in our client’s prestigious recognition of educational programs both domestically and internationally. The number of schools that seek accreditation from our client has risen from 20 to 50 in the last couple of years. Our client is extremely ambitious, and by adding another team member, they will be able to re-open international applications, with several schools already waiting to submit their applications in the new year. This role will offer the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of the accreditation process in the coming years, due to upcoming changes in the regulatory framework of the profession.

Next year, our client will be celebrating 100 years of accreditation, which will consist of events, lectures, and a reception to mark what is a huge historical occasion for the organisation.

The international schools/universities that are already accredited are based in various countries around the globe, including Argentina, China, Egypt, Peru, Sri Lanka, USA, etc.

You will have a high degree of autonomy and will be required to make judgements in complex and unpredictable circumstances all whilst working within budget. You will be responsible for the communication with relevant stakeholders throughout this entire accreditation evidence-based process.
