Maths Expert? Who wants a flexible and satisfying working life?

 Are you a Maths Teacher or Mathematician who would like a role with flexibility while still working with your subject every day? As an Assessment Manager at Cambridge Assessment, you will be able to have both, as you work with other experts who share a love and appreciation of Maths.

 Maybe you are a teacher who would like a better work life balance?

Do you want more time to spend with your family, friends or hobbies?  Would you like a change of direction and the opportunity to build a long-term career in assessment, still utilising your educational background, subject knowledge and strong professional experience?

 A role with a global reach

Working with colleagues, Assessment Specialists, and other leading experts, the purpose of this role is to oversee the development and production of high-quality assessment materials, as well as to manage the marking and grading of syllabuses.  Collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders from school partners to ministries, universities and consultants, the reach of your work will be global, positively impacting learners in countries including Afghanistan, Kenya and Myanmar.

 You will be based at our HQ, The Triangle Building, which is only 5 minutes from Cambridge Station.  Joining us in Assessment could be just the change you need!

 An eye for the detail

Checking, proofreading and signing off assessment materials, you will ensure that question papers and key documentation are produced effectively.  Managing the appointment and performance of Assessment Specialists, such as examiners, setters and vetters, you will ensure the accuracy of marking and overall product adherence to Cambridge Assessment International Education’s assessment standards.  

 Collaborating with the experts

Working with colleagues across Cambridge Assessment who are leading experts in their subject fields, you’ll have the opportunity to continually learn and develop your knowledge, whether that be formally or over an interesting conversation to be had over lunch with well-informed colleagues.

 Appetite for learning

If you like learning – you can easily overindulge here. At Cambridge Assessment we regularly have in-house events, talks and research seminars, as well as leading experts who come from external companies to share their expertise.  Always with the chance to build upon your existing knowledge, you’ll be working at a great place to soak up information and learn more about areas you are interested in. With CPD opportunities such as completing the PGCA, you can join us and stretch your horizons.
