Full Job Description
The post holder will be responsible for the practical arrangements for all exams, providing administrative support to the Examinations Officer to ensure the smooth running of all examinations. This will include the management of exam stationery and IT resources, the setting up of examination rooms, the oversight of Trial papers production, the collation and dissemination of examination packs, the dispatch of scripts and general assistance to the invigilation team during examinations.
The Examinations Assistant also deputises for the Examinations Officer in emergencies or during particularly busy periods. It is therefore important that the Examinations Assistant is familiar with all aspects of the administration of public examinations, in case they need to step in to take them over. As such, a comprehensive understanding of the day-to-day running of examinations is essential.
Hours of Work
The post holder is required to work from 8.00am to 5.00pm (less an hour for lunch) two days a week on average during the Michaelmas and Lent terms. No specific days are required, so there is scope for flexibility to fit the needs of the post holder and those of the Exams Office.
During examination periods it will be necessary for the Examinations Assistant to work full time. Examination periods include most of the Trinity Term (from mid-April through to the last public examination towards the end of June) for external examinations, and periods of internal examination during the academic year (the first and last weeks of November, the first two weeks in January and the last week in February). Flexibility in specific timings will be required to meet the demands of the post.
Actual salary £8,559.94 per annum for working 2 days per week (16 hours) during term time (34 working weeks plus 5.6 weeks paid holiday). Additional hours worked will be paid at £13.51 per hour upon receipt of a time sheet authorised by the Examinations Officer.
Closing date: 9.30am on Monday 11 August 2025
Interviews are likely to be held on: Tuesday 19 August 2025
