Administrator - Exams Officer

Full time: 35 hours per week / 52 weeks per year.

There is flexibility to offer this role as term time-only and/or part-time hours per week for the right candidate.

Ada Lovelace Church of England High School is one of four Twyford Trust schools, a successful multi-academy Trust based in the Borough of Ealing, which as a new school, currently has Years 7 – 10. It is an exciting time to join as the school is continuing to grow. 

In this fast-paced environment, the school office requires an Exams Officer to set up the Exams Centre for May 2023 and manage the administration of internal and external exams as well as results and other exams-related administration. The Exams Officer will also be expected to assist in supporting day-to-day operations (including reception, student services and reprographics) in the school office, outside of the main exam periods. 

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate previous experience of exams administration or exams management, as well as experience of working in a busy school office.  

This role is varied, busy and very fast-paced – the ability to work professionally under pressure to meet deadlines, and operate flexibly within the changing needs of the school, is essential. Excellent communication skills are also essential, as is enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to play an active role in the life of the school. If you are meticulous with an eye for detail, take pride in your work and have a “can do” attitude we would like to hear from you.

The successful candidate will undergo training in the main school office alongside taking responsibility for exams administration from the outset. 

There is flexibility to offer this role as term time-only and/or part-time hours per week for the right candidate.

Successful Candidates will have:  

• Degree or equivalent (desirable). 
• Educated to A Level, and GCSE passes in English and Maths (essential).
