Subject Support Manager - Psychology and Law

Purpose

Working in a wider Subject Support team of 60 subject experts, you'll support teachers in delivering qualifications across Psychology and Law.

Drawing on your assessment and curriculum knowledge, you'll help shape how our qualifications are delivered in classrooms. You'll play a part in any future assessment reform and influence national education beyond individual schools.

What's in it for you

• The chance to make a meaningful impact on education while growing your career.
• A real sense of purpose where your work will influence national education.
• Opportunities for growth and professional development.
• Being a part of AQA's inclusive and values-led culture.
• A benefits package including up to 11.5 percent pension contribution, BUPA healthcare support, wellbeing programmes and volunteering opportunities.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service, along with discretionary Christmas closure days.

In this role, you'll be responsible for:

• Representing AQA and delivering key subject messages to external audiences.
• Supporting schools, centres, and teachers with subject-related queries, and with planning and delivering our Psychology and Law specifications.
• Engaging with teachers both face-to-face and online to support continuous improvement and subject confidence.
• Building strong relationships with subject stakeholders and using insights to shape future developments.
• Gathering and analysing data and customer feedback using relevant tools to inform decisions and improve delivery.
• Collaborating with internal teams such as Product Management, Marketing, Sales, and Events to ensure alignment and smooth delivery.

You'll thrive in this role if you have:

• A clear and confident understanding of A Level Psychology and/or GCSE Psychology, their specifications and current pedagogy.
• An understanding of A level Law, although this is desirable rather than essential.
• An understanding of GCSE and/or A‑level assessment and awareness of the wider education landscape.
• Current or former teaching experience and ability to demonstrate credibility with teachers.
• Experience that shows you've already extended your influence beyond your own classroom for example through subject networks, CPD delivery, EdTech projects or other outward facing responsibilities.
• The ability to use data effectively to inform delivery and understand customer impact.
• Clear and empathetic communication skills, including presenting to teachers and stakeholders, and responding to questions or challenges.
• The ability to explain AQA's offer in a clear and accessible way.
• Flexibility to travel extensively, including regular overnight stays.
