About the role
We are looking for a highly organised and proactive candidate to join the team in the key role of Exams Officer. As the driving force behind the examinations process, you will ensure every assessment runs smoothly, from planning and exam entries to results day. This role will also support students through exam preparation interventions to help them feel confident and ready to succeed.
This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.
