At Stanmore College, we are committed to providing a professional, accurate and supportive examinations service for students and staff, while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and confidentiality.

We are seeking a Deputy Examinations Officer to join our Exams team and support the delivery of internal and external examinations and assessments across the College. You will play a key role in ensuring examinations are planned and administered effectively, working closely with students, staff, invigilators, awarding bodies and colleagues across the College.

The Exams team plays an important role in this, ensuring examinations are delivered smoothly, securely and in line with regulatory requirements.

• Ensure examination papers, confidential materials and scripts are securely managed in line with examination regulations.
• Support the administration of examination access arrangements and work closely with the Access Arrangements Team to meet students' needs.
• Maintain accurate examination records and data across College systems and awarding body platforms, identifying and resolving discrepancies where required.
• Liaise with awarding bodies, students and staff to respond to queries and resolve examination-related issues promptly and professionally.
• Support the secure and accurate distribution of examination results and certificates.
