Examinations & Data Officer

37 hours per week, Term Time + 2 weeks (40 weeks per year)

8.00am start, some evening work may be required

The Governors of this Catholic high school are looking to appoint an Examinations & Data Officer to work alongside the Examinations Manager and the Data Manager to provide an effective and efficient school exams and data analysis function across the whole school. This is a dual role that will require the ability to work flexibly, multitask and produce accurate work to meet internal and external regulations and deadlines.

This is an excellent opportunity for a professional, highly organised individual who can demonstrate good communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to engage with a range of stakeholders across the whole school. The successful candidate will have the ability to provide high levels of administration support and be experienced in data analysis. It would be beneficial, but not essential, to have worked within an educational setting, preferably within exam administration, and to have knowledge of the examination boards’ rules and regulations, including the Joint Council for General Qualifications guidelines. It will be essential to evidence strong IT skills, including the use of Excel, Word and PowerPoint, along with the ability to use appropriate management information systems to input, extract and manipulate data.

The successful candidate will be welcoming, personable, helpful and able to represent the school in a professional and friendly manner. It is also essential for you to have the ability to work well under pressure, pay attention to detail and work effectively both independently and within a strong team environment, responding with a ‘can do’ approach. The nature of the work may sometimes involve you carrying out work outside of normal working hours, and the school would require flexibility during the exam season.

You must be available in school during examination periods to receive, distribute and follow up examination results and queries, in particular, GCSE and A Level result days.

If you require any additional information or would like to visit the school, please contact Tricia Foster, Human Resources Manager, by e-mail: t.foster@st-maryshigh.wigan.sch.uk.
