  • Coordinating the running of mock exams and internal assessments

  • Managing exam-day logistics including rooming, seating plans, timetables and candidate information

  • Recruiting, training and deploying invigilators and ensuring exam sessions run smoothly

  • Maintaining accurate records and communicating key information to staff, students and parents

  • Supporting post-results processes such as reviews of marking, access to scripts and appeals

This role requires excellent organisation, strong attention to detail and the confidence to manage multiple deadlines calmly and accurately.

The Team

You will work closely with senior leaders, SEND staff, heads of year and the wider admin team to ensure exams processes run smoothly and students feel well supported.

The school values professionalism, clear communication and strong systems. You will be supported with clear processes and a collaborative working culture, particularly during peak exam periods.

  • Excellent organisation and the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities

  • High attention to detail and confidence handling sensitive data

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with staff, students and parents
