Ufi grant assessors

At Ufi we run open calls for projects to apply for grants, usually twice a year. Each application is looked at by members of our pool of expert assessors, who advise how well the proposed project fits our criteria. Training is given before each round of assessment. At Stage 1 we are looking at the quality of the idea and the impact it could make. At Stage 2, we are looking at the practicalities – how it will be developed and delivered.

People in our assessment pool come from a wide variety of backgrounds – edtech, education, digital product development, project management, innovation, community development, business development, learning design… and more.

The background knowledge our assessors bring enables us to consider applications from a wide variety of perspectives and helps us spot potential. What unites us is a belief that good digital learning projects can help improve the vocational skills of the UK workforce.

Ideally some or all of the following:

• Edtech
• Innovation
• Project management
• Training delivery
• Current education and training landscape for adults
• Learning design
• Digital product development
• Business development

Assessment work is paid at a fixed rate for each assessment completed, and for time spent on preparation and training. We take confidentiality very seriously. Our assessors are anonymous. If chosen you will not be able to publicise your assessment role.

Simply complete the form, explaining why you want to be an assessor, why you think you’d be a good fit, and upload your CV.

We will keep your details on file and get in touch when we need additional assessors to join the team.
