London, Greater London, United Kingdom AQA Full time

AQA is seeking skilled professionals to join our team as Examination Assurance Specialists. This unique opportunity allows individuals to contribute to the integrity of examination processes across the UK.

As an Examination Assurance Specialist, you will work with JCQ Awarding Bodies to ensure centres administer exams in accordance with relevant rules, guaranteeing fair and equal examination conditions for students nationwide.

This role requires flexibility, allowing you to work remotely and give back to your local community while being reimbursed for your time and travel. You will be trained by our JCQ Partners and have the chance to develop your skills in this field.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Ensuring the integrity of the examination process by verifying adherence to JCQ regulations
  • Providing general advice and guidance to centre staff during visits
  • Delivering written feedback to both the centre and the JCQ Centre Inspection Service team on centre compliance with JCQ regulations

Your work allocation as an Examination Assurance Specialist will involve:

  • Inspecting centres from April to November, including training; with peak visits occurring from May to June
  • Visiting 2 centres per half-day during the exam series, equivalent to a full day
  • Inspecting between 50-80 centres within reasonable travelling distance from your home

To succeed in this role, you must possess:

  • Recent experience in the examination process, either as an Examinations Officer, Deputy Head, Head, or equivalent relevant experience within an Awarding Body
  • No other work commitments that may impact your availability or create conflict of interest during inspections
  • Effective communication skills and ability to remain calm under pressure
  • A full driving licence (this may be waived for Central London)
  • Access to a private PC with broadband internet

Becoming an Examination Assurance Specialist can benefit you by:

  • Earning an estimated £1,500-£4,000 annually (payment is made according to a schedule of fees)
  • Opportunities to share your expertise and experience
  • A flexible role within the education sector

If you believe this role aligns with your skills and interests, we encourage you to apply through our Workday application portal. Successful candidates will be contacted for an interview with our Centre Inspection Services team.

We are currently seeking Inspection Specialists in several locations, including London, Kent, Hertfordshire, and more. However, if no allocation is available in your area, we will retain your application for future consideration.

Please note that this role is offered as a provision of services as a Contractor, not as an employee of AQA or JCQ.
