Exams and Assessment Officer

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding ICT skills to fulfil the role of Exams and Assessment Officer to start as soon as possible to cover maternity leave.

The person appointed will report directly to the Senior Leadership Team and will be expected to work in August when examination results are published. You will work closely with the Exams and Assessment Assistant and the Exam Invigilator team in the academy.

Just 30 minutes from Sheffield and Doncaster and with good links to both the M1 and A1, Outwood Academy Portland is a thriving learning community for both students and staff. Our staff are dedicated to securing the best possible outcomes for every student and are enormously proud of Ofsted’s Outstanding rating awarded in 2014. The hard work of both students and staff culminated in student progress placing the academy within the top 10% of all schools nationally, with 83% of students gaining Grade 4 or above in English and Maths.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, good time management, an ability to multitask and be able to work to tight deadlines. This role will necessitate accuracy, attention to detail and excellent organisational skills. Experience of working within a school environment and experience of using SIMS would be a definite advantage. More importantly candidates need to be proficient in the use of excel spreadsheets.

The Academy benefits from being part of the Outwood Family of Schools, which affords opportunities for staff to work and progress across several schools if desired. We will guarantee every member of staff CPD and a further comprehensive programme of professional development is provided through the teaching school at Outwood Grange Academy.

Understandably, visits to the school are not possible at present, however we are really keen to ensure that you have as much information to proceed with your application as possible, so if you would like information about either the academy or the position please contact hr@portland.outwood.com and we will be happy to assist.
