Ladybridge High School is a warm, friendly and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community. We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life. We are committed to our 'Trivium' approach to education, which is summarised on our website here.

The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work.

We are seeking to appoint an Exams Manager who will be responsible for the administration and organisational arrangements for examinations and for the timely submission of entries to the exam boards.

We strongly believe in allowing our staff to carry out their role to a high standard, whilst having a genuine work life balance which is why our full-time admin staff have the option of a compressed working pattern which offers a non-working day once a fortnight which is an option available for this post outside of the examination periods.

The successful candidate will line manage a small team of casual Exam Invigilators. There will also be a requirement to learn cover and the procedures for covering absent teachers as a backup for staff absences within the HR department.

We are looking for an exceptional candidate with:

Experience of using SIMS / Arbor or a large information management system
An attention to detail and a methodical approach
Strong interpersonal skills with a friendly outgoing manner
The ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines
Excellent verbal and written communication
A knowledge of cloud-based systems such as Office 365 and Google Workspace

Previous experience of working in a school or educational establishment would be an advantage.

The application process:

Interested colleagues should complete an application form, which can be downloaded from the school website http://www.ladybridgehigh.co.uk/latest-vacancies/ and submit with a letter of application to outline how your experiences to date prepare you for this role.

Please note that CVs and late applications will not be accepted.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 2nd September 2026 at 8.00am

Shortlisting will take place: Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Interviews will be held: Wednesday 9th September 2026
