Exams Officer

We are seeking to appoint an Exams Officer who will be responsible for the efficient and effective running of our examinations within the school. The Exams Officer will be supported by our experienced Exams Assistant and fantastic team of invigilators, who work collaboratively to ensure that the exams are conducted in accordance with the school procedures and the regulations set out by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).

The successful applicant will have strong data processing skills, exceptional attention to detail and the ability to effectively manage a varied workload and meet deadlines. They will have strong communication skills, with the ability to build good working relationships with staff, students and invigilators and to liaise effectively with examination boards to meet the requirements of the exams cycle. Experience of working within a school or across examinations would be beneficial but not essential.

* There may be times during peak exam season when additional hours need to be worked; this will be paid as overtime.
