Recruiting Academics to Become CASE Accreditors
Develop your skills through a structured pathway from Shadow Accreditor to Co‑Accreditor and then Lead Accreditor
Help shape high-quality ultrasound education.
CASE is recruiting experienced academics and educators to become Accreditors. You will observe and contribute to programme accreditation and re-accreditation activity under the guidance of established accreditors, gaining practical experience of CASE standards, evidence review and quality-assurance processes.
The pathway is designed to support suitable individuals to progress from Shadow Accreditor to Co-Accreditor and, with further experience and demonstrated competence, to Lead Accreditor.
Being a CASE accreditor can contribute to your career development by giving practical experience in external quality assurance, curriculum evaluation, evidence-based decision-making and constructive feedback. Working alongside experienced accreditors will strengthen your understanding of professional standards, broaden your academic and clinical networks, and develop communication, collaboration and leadership skills. Progression to Co-Accreditor and Lead Accreditor can support future roles in programme leadership, validation, external examining, academic management and quality assurance.
We are looking for academics who:
- have experience in higher education, professional education or quality assurance;
- understand the current curriculum landscape including design, assessment, student recruitment and support and programme evaluation;
- can review detailed evidence objectively and provide clear, constructive and consistent feedback;
- communicate effectively and work well within a multidisciplinary team;
- have an interest in ultrasound education and a commitment to maintaining professional standards; and
- can commit time to preparation, meetings, accreditation activity and subsequent debriefs and reporting.
What you will gain
- structured experience of the CASE accreditation processes;
- mentoring and feedback from established accreditors;
- professional development in quality assurance, peer review and accreditation; and
- a supported route towards becoming a CASE Co-Accreditor and, in time, a Lead Accreditor.
Progression is based on experience, feedback, successful participation and readiness for the responsibilities of each stage; it is not automatic.
You will be expected to undertake at least 1 accreditation a year, including associated meetings and debrief and attend 4 online accreditation training webinars per year (these can also be accessed retrospectively via the CASE website, although synchronous attendance is preferred).
