Data Manager

We are looking for someone who enjoys finding clever ways to solve problems, thinks systematically and wants to be part of a school that loves maths, computing and science. The person we’re looking for is probably (like us) a bit geeky about things like Excel tricks and enjoys finding creative and neat solutions to problems. They will understand the importance of keeping data accurate, tidy and meaningful, and might also be interested in learning more about data science and computer systems. Hopefully they will have a sense of fun and will enjoy being part of a team with a strong sense of purpose.

This Data Manager role also includes taking charge of the Examinations Officer role, which is relatively straightforward in that we only offer four A-Levels, and all students follow pretty much the same courses. You will be supported in this by two experienced and friendly administrators who have been Examinations Officers themselves. No prior experience of the Examinations Officer role is expected and ample support will be provided.

We are a highly motivated, friendly and very supportive staff team. We are motivated by the joint purpose of making a difference to the educational opportunities for disadvantaged students in the region, and ensuring that the most able students have a suitably inspiring and challenging education. We’re privileged to work with a wonderful group of talented and hardworking students from a wide range of backgrounds. Many of our students are from families with little or no history of higher education and we are focused on removing barriers for them and enabling them to receive teaching from engaging academic experts.

The key responsibilities, will include tasks as outlined below:

1. To manage the school’s Bromcom MIS system, making sure that the right data is recorded accurately and then interrogated for the purpose of school improvement, effective learning and maximising student safety and wellbeing
2. To support colleagues using other systems such as Google Apps, MS 365, Admissions+, CPOMS etc.
3. To act as the school’s Examinations Officer
4. To be part of the school’s Administration and Student Support team

The successful candidates will be provided with training and support as they become expert in the various electronic systems the school uses including:

• Applicaa Admissions+
• Microsoft Office 365 and Google G-Suite 
• Access Education Finance
• Bromcom MIS

The successful candidate needs to enjoy learning new ICT skills. They will not be required to already be familiar with all of these systems. Plenty of support is available in school and through online training. The school is genuinely committed to professional development opportunities for all members of staff and you will be encouraged and supported to take up such opportunities.

Why work at ULMaS?

As an employee at the University of Liverpool Maths School you will be part of a close-knit team united in their desire to transform the life chances of young people across Merseyside by developing their STEM education to the highest standard. ULMaS is a well funded institution with a high level of support from the University of Liverpool, the parents of our students, politicians, philanthropists and many others. It attracts interesting and talented students who take full advantage of the opportunities that the school offers, supporting each other and treating staff members with respect. Our polite, well motivated and hardworking students are the best reason to work in our school; the wonderful staff team comes a very close second.

ULMaS is an extremely friendly community whose members have a strong sense of belonging as well as a deep seated sense of purpose. Our community is varied, tolerant and inclusive. Students are treated with respect and encouraged to be themselves and to feel at home when in school. They are expected to develop rapidly in their maturity and to behave as responsible young adults in a culture of mutual respect.

The small size of our school (approximately 80 students and 15 staff members) means that all staff members take on multiple roles and responsibilities and are flexible in their approach to work. All members of staff in this school have a significant role in supporting students, ensuring that students are safe and cared for at all times. We are both a large family and a small professional organisation. Life is often fun, never dull and normally very busy.
