Exams Officer 23-08-25 08:29:50

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on 10th September 2025.

We are offering an exciting opportunity to join The Hamble School as Exams Officer. Our vision ‘We Care, We Aim High, We Learn and Achieve Together’ encapsulates the work we do every day. Our intake numbers are increasing – we currently have 1,090 students. We have been recently graded as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted and we are continuing to ensure that we provide the very best education for all our students in an inclusive environment.

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and highly organised individual to oversee all aspects of examinations management throughout the academic year. This is a pivotal role within the school, ensuring the smooth and effective administration of both internal and external examinations, in line with school policies, JCQ regulations and the requirements of awarding bodies.

The majority of external examinations take place during May and July, while internal assessments are held at various points across the year. During quieter periods, the successful candidate will also support the wider school administration team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Managing the full examinations process, including entries, timetabling and results.
• Recruiting, coordinating, training and supporting a team of invigilators.
• Liaising with staff, students, Parents/Carers and examination boards.
• Ensuring compliance with JCQ and awarding body regulations, including working with the JCQ Inspector during school visits.
• Organising and delivering events such as Results Day and Year 12 Presentation Evening.

About You:
The successful candidate will have:

• Excellent attention to detail and high levels of accuracy.
• Strong administrative and IT skills, with good computer literacy.
• A highly organised, flexible and proactive approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
• GCSE English and Maths (Grade A–C / 9–4) or equivalent.

This role would suit someone with project management skills, and while experience of working in a school and knowledge of SIMS would be an advantage, it is not essential as full training will be provided.

If you are rigorous, reliable and motivated by ensuring the highest standards, we would be delighted to hear from you.

In return, we can offer you:

• A positive and optimistic working environment focused on staff well-being, student welfare, progress and high standards of achievement and behaviour.
• Opportunities to engage with Hampshire Apprenticeship scheme.
• Personal career development to assist you in the fulfilment of your ambitions.
• A well-equipped campus with excellent gym and swimming facilities run by Everyone Active which staff can take advantage of for free. Access to leisure and sports classes at heavily discounted membership rates and preferential rates for family members.
• The opportunity to apply for discounted childcare placements with Hamble Early Years Centre which is based directly next to the school.
• Free on-site parking and good local public transport links to the school (bus/ rail).
