King’s College is a forward looking international school which follows the British curriculum
with 1500 students aged between 3 and 18 years. The buildings and grounds are extensive
with substantial investment giving purpose-built facilities, underpinned by a dedication to high
quality teaching and learning. The Examinations Officer will work alongside other
administrative staff as part of an efficient, supportive and collaborative team.

We seek to appoint an experienced Examinations Officer who is able to work autonomously
and undertake a wide range of duties. This is an interesting and varied role which has arisen
following the retirement of a long-serving member of staff.

part-time teaching role and should therefore mention their experience and preferences within
their applications. All subjects will be considered.

Responsibilities will include:

       The management of all examinations, including GCE, (I)GCSE, internal exams, CEM
        Centre Tests, oral examinations etc

       Administering student coursework and controlled assessments
       Downloading exam results on the days they become available
       Liaising with Head of Secondary, Director of Studies and Heads of Department to plan
        and prepare for internal exams

       To offer support with the administration of processes to manage assessments, reports
        and monitoring
       The creation of a new College Public Exams Policy and Handbook
       To assist the Director of Studies and Academic Manager when necessary
The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate:

       The ability to work under pressure
       Meticulous attention to detail
       Highly competent ICT skills
       A professional manner with children, young people, colleagues and parents
       The motivation and the ability to work both as a part of a team and independently
       A proactive approach to problem-solving

A proven track-record is essential in this role and the successful applicant will have recent
experience of managing all aspects of the administration and management of school
examinations.

The post will require a degree of flexible working to take account of the cyclical nature of
school examinations. The post-holder, if not included within the teaching body, will be
expected to work a minimum of 20 hours per week in both the Christmas and Easter terms,
and 36 hours in the Summer term. The Exams Officer must also be within school throughout
the public examinations’ release dates in August.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young
people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be
required to undertake an enhanced CRB disclosure
