About The Role
You will play a role in supporting the management, coordinating, and delivering assessments across the undergraduate Veterinary modules. This includes ExamSys papers, Observed Structured Clinical and Practical assessments (OSPE/CEs), and coursework submissions. As part of the School’s Assessments Team, you will ensure that all administrative, logistical, and regulatory elements of assessment delivery are carefully planned and executed, supporting a fair, well-organised, and positive experience for students, academics, and examiners.
Working closely with colleagues across the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science—including academic teams, clinical skills staff, and professional services—you will help ensure assessment processes are robust, compliant, and consistently delivered to a high standard. You will contribute to assessment activity across the undergraduate course, supporting both day-to-day operational delivery and the ongoing review and improvement of assessment practices. The role requires flexibility in working hours to support on-site examinations and provide hands-on operational oversight. You will also be expected to work at Sutton Bonington Campus. These duties provide a framework for the role but are not exhaustive. You may be asked to undertake other reasonable responsibilities appropriate to the grade and purpose of the post, and you will be expected to work flexibly to support Professional Services activity across the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science.
About The Team
The role sits within the delivery arm of the Assessments Team in the University of Nottingham’s School of Veterinary Medicine and Science. The team comprises four staff and is responsible for the delivery and continuous improvement of assessments across the undergraduate programme, which includes 8,000 summative exams and 2,000 coursework submissions annually, 100 lab-based practical exams and 300 vivas, and the administration of 4,200 OSCE and OSPE stations using live animals, models, and cadavers. Working closely with academic colleagues, external examiners, and invigilators, the team operates in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a strong focus on professionalism, inclusivity, operational excellence, and service development.
About You
You will bring relevant qualifications or substantial experience in further or higher education, alongside strong administrative experience, data handling and reporting skills, and a sound understanding of GDPR. You will be highly organised, an excellent communicator, and confident managing multiple priorities to demanding deadlines, with a strong commitment to teamwork and continuous improvement.
