We are looking for a highly motivated self-starter to join us as our new Examinations and Data Officer. If successful, you will be responsible for the efficient management and organisation of all examinations, and for ensuring the accuracy of our student data records.

Working with colleagues and a team of exam invigilators, responsibilities will include:
• Ensuring the successful administration of all internal and external examinations, in accordance with the Joint Council of Qualifications (JCQ) regulations.
• Organising and managing the work of a team of exam invigilators.
• Overseeing the collection and analysis of student attainment information and examination results.
• Ensuring the accuracy of student data to enable the termly school census.
• Supporting the Year 9 and Year 12 options processes.

In the short term, the successful candidate will also support the school’s transition from SIMS to the Arbor management information system.

Previous experience in a similar role in a school would be an advantage but is not essential as training will be provided.

Full job details and comprehensive information about the school can be found on the website (www.ullswatercc.co.uk)

Hours of work: ideally, we are looking to appoint a full-time colleague (37 hours/week); however, part-time working is available if preferred. We envisage this to be a full-year role but – again – we are open to requests for term-time working, which would need to be for a minimum of the 38 term-time weeks plus an additional 3 weeks working during school holiday periods. A holiday allowance would take the total of paid weeks to a minimum of 47 weeks per year.

Ullswater Community College is a friendly, supportive employer with a lot to offer its employees. We received an Ofsted Good rating in April 2023 and were recognised as ‘Best Secondary School in Cumbria’ at the annual NewsQuest Educational awards in October 2023.

Our Staff Wellbeing group and approachable leadership team work hard to maintain a responsive and professional working environment. Benefits to you will include:
• Membership of the Health Assured employee wellbeing programme
• Membership of the local government pension scheme, with generous employer contributions
• Cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme
• Free eye test scheme 

This is an exciting time to be joining us – we have been named in the school rebuilding programme and anticipate a significant investment or new build in the near future.

We invest heavily in staff development, consider the well-being of colleagues in every development and encourage staff to be fully involved in school life.

We welcome applications using either the TES application procedure or our own application form. This can be downloaded from our website, where full job details and comprehensive information about the school can also be found.
