Excited by complexity and change?

An experienced people leader who can galvanise teams?

Want to be at the cutting edge of education assessment?

You're naturally someone who enjoys a challenge and in your career to date you've accrued strong people, process and change management skills. You'll be able to effectively manage a team of four direct reports in a fast-moving, pressurised environment whilst fostering a sense of calm and resilience.

AQA has led the awarding and standard setting space in the education industry for years so you'll be joining a high-calibre and knowledgeable team. Most recently we've been at the forefront of developing on-screen examinations.

Your desire for continuous improvement will link into your recommendations for what AQA needs in the future to maintain our pioneering position in the marketplace.

Bringing enthusiasm and energy, you will have a can-do attitude and understand how to build effective working relationships with a range of partners and stakeholders in order to get the job done.

We've got ambitious plans at AQA, and as Head of Awarding you will lead on the delivery of setting grade boundaries through the awarding process for all of the qualifications offered by AQA. You will oversee planning activities, determination of priorities, compliance with regulations, and the management of risk, quality, time schedules and costs.

This role sits in the Standards and Awarding team, which is responsible for ensuring that the standards and outcomes of AQA's awards and the technical aspects of AQA's assessment processes are fair, consistent and defensible and that they command public confidence.

**Need to know (to be successful in this role you will need to)**:

- successfully manage, motivate and develop individuals and teams, leading by example
- develop, implement and embed change
- think creatively and solve complex problems
- communicate clearly, sharing information regularly and concisely
- prioritise effectively, making courageous decisions about what we will and won't do
- be flexible and responsive to changing demands, and be willing to challenge the thinking of others

**Benefits**

At AQA we recognise our employees' contribution and in return we are proud to offer an extensive reward and benefit package. This includes:

- A down-to-earth, collaborative and supportive team
- A 35 hour working week
- 25 days' annual leave rising to 30 days, plus all Bank Holidays and additional Christmas leave
- Excellent contributory pension (6% - 11.5% dependent on employee contribution)
- Life assurance
- Enhanced maternity/paternity scheme
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme offering support with counselling, legal advice and money matters
- Access to Learning space, a modern Learning Management System, providing an environment for self-directed learning from high quality e-learning content
- Cycle to work scheme
- Interest free travel loans

**How to apply**

Please upload your CV and covering letter via our AQA job portal.
