Examination Venue Coordinator

We are seeking an Examination Venue Coordinator to join our team at Harris Academy Wimbledon. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the delivery of high-quality examination services and play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of our examination venues.

Harris Academy Wimbledon is an Outstanding secondary academy that provides an excellent education for children in Wimbledon. Our new Sixth Form has recently opened, and we are proud of our brand-new building which is modern, bright, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

As an Examination Venue Coordinator, you will be part of a friendly and outward-looking group where professional development and progression opportunities are second to none. You will work closely with our Examinations Officer to support the day-to-day operation of examination venues and other examination processes.

The Examination Venue Coordinator will be responsible for:

• Assisting with setting-up examination venues by laying out stationery, equipment, and examination papers
• Assisting candidates prior to the start of examinations
• Ensuring that candidates do not talk once inside examination venues
• Invigilating during examinations, dealing with queries raised by candidates, and dealing with irregularities
• Checking attendance during examinations
• Recording details of late arrivals
• Escorting candidates from venues during the examinations and supervising candidates outside examination venues
• Collecting and collating scripts at the end of the examination
• Assisting with the preparation of script envelopes
• Supervising candidates leaving examination venues, ensuring that candidates do not remove equipment or stationery from the venue without authorisation and that they leave venues in an orderly and quiet manner
• Assisting with the packing of examination papers, stationery, and equipment before examinations, and the delivery to and from venues as appropriate
• Assisting with the preparation of seating plans

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• A positive interest in young people and their education
• The ability to be flexible
• Accuracy and a high level of attention to detail
• Confident communication skills
• A firm but fair attitude
• The ability to work well under pressure
• Physical fitness appropriate to tasks required (exam papers can be heavy in bulk, and there is a lot of walking involved)

We offer a competitive salary of £25,000-£35,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus a range of benefits including a Performance and Loyalty Bonus, Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions, a Wellbeing Cash Plan, and many other benefits.

Please note that the estimated salary range may vary based on individual circumstances.
