We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated Data and Exams Manager to join our CAPA College team of professionals and play a pivotal role in its future success and development.  Contributing to the development and growth of CAPA College, the ideal candidate will have a passion for handling and analysing data in order to support the efficiency and effectiveness of the college whilst also aiding the drive for student progress.  If you have exacting standards, a keen eye for detail and the ability to oversee robust and effective exam and assessment arrangements then we would love to hear from you. 

About Us:

CAPA College (Creative and Performing Arts College) is Yorkshire’s newest and most exciting post-16 education institution.  Since opening its door as Wakefield’s first DfE-funded Free School in September 2018 within Enhance Academy Trust, CAPA College has already established itself as one of the leading Arts education providers in the North of England; and this is your opportunity to join our award-winning team.

Based in the heart of Wakefield, CAPA College delivers the highest quality training, education and pastoral guidance to support talented students, aged 16-19, who are serious about pursuing a career in the Arts.  CAPA College aims to inspire, train and educate the next generation of performers, creatives, designers and technicians and attracts students from across Yorkshire and beyond.  

CAPA College provides students with intensive full-time practical training alongside the rigour of academic Arts study.  This combination of Outstanding Arts training and academic excellence ensures that students develop the skills, training experience, knowledge, understanding and qualifications they need to progress to the top universities, leading national and internal Arts conservatoires and professional Arts-based employment.  

CAPA College’s professional approach and ethos continues to be maintained throughout all aspects of its provision.  Alongside an outstanding curriculum and excellent teaching, students gain extensive experience performing through the UK and working alongside professional artists, companies and theatre venues.

This is a very exciting time as CAPA College prepares to implement the next stage of its development.  CAPA College is currently renting temporary accommodation but will move to its new, permanent home on Mulberry Way (opposite Wakefield Westgate train station) in September 2022.  This purpose-built, multi million pound facility will enable CAPA College to expand its cohort from 134 students to 250 students per year group as well as offering more performance and learning opportunities, new course pathways, increased staffing, exceptional resources and better outreach with the local community.
