Working closely with the Centre Manager, you will help ensure the centre operates efficiently, delivers excellent customer service and maintains the highest standards of security and compliance.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Completing checks on identification documents, candidate records and examination information.
• Assisting with daily reporting, administration and accurate record-keeping.
• Ensuring facilities, equipment and systems are ready for examination sessions.
• Recording incidents, identifying potential risks and escalating concerns appropriately.
• Supporting local marketing initiatives and activities to increase awareness of the centre.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to maintain a professional, welcoming and well-organised environment.

What are we looking for?

Ideally, you will have:

• Strong customer service experience, ideally within a busy operational environment.
• Previous experience supporting, supervising, coaching or training colleagues.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence dealing with different personalities and handling challenging situations professionally.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel and email.
• The ability to follow procedures carefully and maintain accurate records.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and willingness to support colleagues.
• The ability to prioritise workloads and remain calm under pressure.
• A commitment to maintaining confidentiality, security and compliance standards.

Experience within retail, hospitality, leisure, contact centres, education or other service-led environments would be particularly relevant.

Previous examinations experience is not essential, as full training will be provided.
