Exams Manager

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. We are looking for an exceptional candidate with:

• Experience of using Arbor / SIMS 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 Google Workspace and Office 365

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

Ladybridge High School is committed to safer recruitment practice and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. This post is subject to enhanced clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
