Pros
Flexible work - errr I can’t think of anything else.
Cons
They don’t pay your invoices.
• Freelance assessors are expected to complete work in good faith but payments are frequently delayed.
• Outstanding invoices can remain unpaid for weeks or months, creating significant financial uncertainty for freelancers.
• The Head of Department openly acknowledged that payment problems have happened before and can take months to resolve
• Freelancers appear to be treated as an afterthought. When payments are missed, communication from senior leadership is either extremely limited or non-existent, leaving assessors chasing answers and feeling undervalued.
