We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
Are you an organised, efficient, and proactive administrator looking to join a fast-paced operations environment, where you will provide first class operational support to our customers and qualifications? We have exciting opportunities to join us as a Senior Administrator.
About the role
OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations) is a leading UK exam board. We provide qualifications which engage people of all ages and abilities at school, college, in work or through part-time learning programmes. Our general and vocational qualifications equip learners with the knowledge and skills they need for their future, helping them achieve their full potential.
OCR Operations is made up of several departments each responsible for key processes that ensure we can deliver qualifications securely and successfully to schools and students in the UK.
Within this role you will oversee the timely and accurate delivery of an agreed set of operational processes. You will support the Assessment Processing management team, including supervising temporary staff during peak processing times.
You will lead and support continuous process improvement across Operations, and support in-series planning and readiness activities. You will establish collaborative working relationships with your colleagues, learning, and sharing best practice together and also take a lead role in user testing activity.
This is your opportunity to pursue potential by sharing your commitment and values with us! If you do not want to miss out, please take a look at the job description attached at the end of the advert. We want to hear from you.

This really is the perfect role for you if you are enthusiastic and proactive, with an aptitude for learning new skills and processes quickly and accurately. As a strong team player, diplomatic, trustworthy, loyal, and pragmatic you will have a responsible ‘can do' approach and work effectively to meet deadlines.

You will be a proficient user of Microsoft Office products (particularly Outlook, Excel, and Word). Prior knowledge of our in-house operations system is an advantage, but full training will be given.
