Rotherham, United Kingdom Pearson Education Ltd Full time

An opportunity has arisen to join one of the UK's leading education businesses, on a temporary basis to assist with the processing of over 9 million examination papers.

At Pearson, we’re committed to the world that’s always learning and to our talented team who makes it all possible. From bringing lectures vividly to life to turning textbooks into laptop lessons, we are always reexamining the way people learn best, whether it’s one child in our own backyard or an education community across the globe.

We have many different job roles available that fall under the administration banner, but all involve:

- Administration of processes relating to the processing of exam papers
- Maintaining accurate records
- Teamwork
- Working to solve problems and issues as they arise
- Working with Microsoft Office

Experience within an office based administration role would be an advantage but is not essential as full training would be provided. What’s important is that you recognise the importance of what we do and the role you would play in helping deliver exam results.

The position will start mid May and is expected to last 6-8 weeks in the first instance however there could be opportunities for strong applicants to stay with the business on a longer term basis in as some contracts may be extended.

**Work Pattern**

Working hours will be 37.5 hours per week, Monday - Friday and will be based broadly around office hours, however overtime (paid at time and a half) may be required.

At Pearson, we aim to reflect the world we live in at every level of our business. Having a diverse workforce is really important to us, and we always seek to hire the best people who share our values, drive initiatives and improve results.

**Diversity and Equality**

At Pearson, we believe in the power of difference. Harnessing the unique skills, perspectives, and backgrounds of every employee helps us foster innovation and create the most effective solutions for learners around the world. That’s why we’re committed to ensuring that diversity and inclusion are embedded into everything we do. We foster a work environment that’s inclusive and diverse — and where our people can be themselves — so we can reflect the customers and learners we serve.

Pearson is delighted to be committed to the Race Charter, and to be confirmed by Stonewall to be in the Top 100 Employers LGBTQ+ employers in the UK.
