Recruitment of moderators

Applications for new moderators have just been re-opened. This year we have adjusted the timings for when recruitment will take place to provide them with an opportunity to engage moderators in a shadow moderation before the next annual conference and peak period. The training and recruitment of new moderators will take place in November this year and we hope to have them ready to moderate by January 2016. Information about the role, how to apply and the recruitment process is available on the Arts Award website.
