Job Description

The Scottish Qualifications Authority is Scotland’s national awarding and accreditation body. We are trusted to oversee thousands of qualifications that are available in schools, colleges and workplaces, not just in this country, but around the world.

We are looking for two Research Analysts to work within the newly established Research & Evaluation team. SQA is happy to consider both full-time and part-time applications for these roles.

The Research & Evaluation team has been established to enable SQA to ensure decision making is evidence based, drawing on a sound understanding of SQA’s existing provision and best practice from around the world.

  • Producing high quality work that considers the needs of different audiences, and helps them understand research findings.
    • Organisational and planning skills to prioritise a complex workload
