Windsor Forest Colleges Group is seeking a proactive, highly organised and detail oriented Exams Officer to join our team on a full time, permanent basis.
Working across our Sixth Form and Further Education colleges, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the successful delivery of examinations and assessments across a diverse, multi site organisation. You will have a primary base campus, but regular travel between our campuses at Langley, Windsor, Strode's in Egham and the Berkshire College of Agriculture in Maidenhead is an essential requirement of the role.
The role offers a salary on the Support Staff Pay Scale H from £29,586 (H20) up to £31,487 (H22) per annum, dependent on experience and qualifications.
Exams Officer
You will take operational responsibility for the coordination and delivery of internal and external examinations, vocational qualifications and apprenticeship assessments across our Sixth Form and Further Education colleges. Working closely with the Deputy Exams Manager, you will help ensure the smooth, compliant and accurate delivery of examination services, maintaining secure and audit-ready examination centres in accordance with Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) regulations and awarding body requirements.
Your responsibilities will span the full examination lifecycle, including managing high volume candidate entries and registrations, liaising with awarding bodies, coordinating complex examination timetables across multiple sites, resolving examination clashes and organising room setups and invigilation arrangements. You will also work closely with our Additional Learning Support (ALS) team to implement approved access arrangements, oversee the secure handling and storage of confidential question papers and scripts and support the implementation and troubleshooting of online and on demand testing systems. In addition, you will maintain accurate Management Information System (MIS) records, verify apprenticeship completion records for certification and support the effective delivery of results days, post results services and appeals.
The role requires someone who is highly organised, methodical and adaptable, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities. Examination series and results periods are particularly busy and time critical, so you will need to remain calm under pressure and work accurately to meet fixed regulatory and awarding body deadlines. While standard working hours apply for most of the year, flexibility to work outside standard hours, including occasional early mornings, evenings and, rarely, weekends, will be required during peak examination periods.
For further details on this role please refer to the attached job description/person specification.
