To thrive in this role, you’ll be a capable, conscientious and cooperative person who can handle a wide-ranging workload, coordinating and supporting colleagues across WJEC. You will be a strong communicator, able to deliver clear and concise information to stakeholders including business and technical colleagues within WJEC and external partners and collaborators. The person in this role will be results orientated, well organised, proactive and accurate; ensuring the correctness of all communications through an attention to detail.

A career with WJEC can be extremely rewarding and you will be encouraged and supported throughout with great opportunities to develop your professional and personal skills. WJEC operates a hybrid working model, enabling the successful candidate to split their time between WJEC offices and working at home, subject to business need. As such, applications are invited from individuals across the UK but please note that regular working from our Cardiff offices will be required and whilst flexibility can be discussed, this team currently requires average office attendance of once per week. Welsh language skills are not essential but the willingness to learn is always valued.
To find out more about the role, or about working for us, please do not hesitate to contact Fliss (she/her) (Felicity.Spacie@wjec.co.uk) who would be more than happy to answer your questions. Interviews are anticipated to be held in person, on Tuesday 22 September 2026.
