Press Release

Exams Officer needed in Oxfordshire-based education business    ca £15,000 p.a.

Exams Together Ltd was set up to provide examination venues for anyone studying privately or through distance learning to gain public qualifications. We aim to offer an inclusive and professional service to all Private Candidates so that they can rely on us for accurate information and the smooth-running of their examinations.

We are now looking for an Exams Officer to help run our busy enterprise.

The job will entail handling customer queries on all aspects of the qualifications offered by the three major Boards. Customer communications are by phone, e-mail and letter, so the post-holder will need rounded communication skills, as well as a good sense of organization to record and file queries appropriately.

We currently run three sessions per year at four Centres around the country from our base in Oxfordshire. The administrative tasks involve making entries, ensuring the candidate documentation is accurate and properly distributed, results’ delivery and post-results support for the candidates. These are run best through the Boards’ online sites, so the post-holder will need to be a confident IT user as all the sites function in slightly different ways.

Arranging examination accommodation at the 4 Centres will also form part of the post-holder’s duties. This entails early planning, pre-booking at the venues, following up on entry numbers and confirming arrangements in good time. In addition, the Exams Together team of invigilators must be provided with all relevant JCQ documentation and accurate candidate entry details to ensure they are properly equipped for their tasks during the sessions.

We are looking for someone who can work quickly and calmly and who has a good sense of order and efficiency. Some experience of working with the examinations side of education would be helpful because there is an awful lot of jargon! However, training will be given and progress is fast with the amount of customer contact in an average week.

Dealing with the administration of three Boards, four venues, a varying number of invigilators, hundreds of students, and sometimes their parents too, can be a very pressurized business. The right person for the job will enjoy the multi-tasking aspects of the role and need a sound sense of humour! We are looking for someone to can start as soon as possible!

If you think the role would suit you, or you would like some more information, please contact Chris or Liz Blount on 01608 645455. You can also reach us through our website at www.examstogether.com. Alternatively, send a message to cjb@examstogether.com and we will get back to you straight away.
