We are seeking an inspirational and motivational Examinations Manager with the drive, commitment and creativity to support us in providing the best possible opportunities for our pupils. You will be a well organised individual with good administrative, communication and IT skills. Salary may be negotiable for the right candidate. Required for January 2025, start date subject to pre-employment checks.

Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11 to16 Converter Academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s ‘caring, nurturing and inclusive culture’ described by Ofsted (2019) as ‘a welcoming and inclusive school’ where ‘pupils are happy, and they achieve well’ and the ‘positive relationships between pupils and staff are a hallmark of the school’.

You will be working 36.5 hours per week excluding a 30 minute lunch break, Monday to Friday, term-time only + 1 week.

We are seeking a colleague:

• to ensure the administration, organisation and smooth running of all examinations
• to be responsible for examination entries for external exams to the examination boards for public and GCSE exams
• to liaise with Heads of Department and KS4 Coordinators on entries
• to be responsible for disseminating information about public exams to staff pupils and parents
• to liaise with staff, parents, pupils and to deal with complaints and queries about public examinations including 1 to 1 meetings with parents
• to be responsible for handling and to ensure the security of examination papers as they arrive
• to recruit, interview, manage and lead a team of invigilators

Most importantly, we are looking for a candidate who shares the school’s approach and commitment to the success and wellbeing of its young people. You are warmly invited to speak to the Deputy Headteacher (Raising Standards) and to make an appointment to visit the school in action.

I strongly recommend you visit the school to meet us and find out more about the role. Please contact my PA, Mrs Paula Elliott, to arrange a convenient time.
