Hybrid Working
Exams. That's what AQA do. We deliver over 9 million examination results each year. We aim to Never Let a Learner Down.
This Administrator role is in the team responsible for monitoring the marking of the exams. You will be making sure that learners have their papers marked, checked and to ensure they are issued with the correct result.
You will be working in a hybrid way, which fluctuates throughout the year depending upon the workload and business needs.
What's in it for me?
A great pension which could see up to 18.5% combined contributions
25 days annual leave with Bank Holidays and extra closure days at Christmas on top
Corporate access to the Headspace app and an employee assistance program
Newly refurbished office with a variety of individual and collaborative workspaces, a subsidised eatery, a games room, a yoga room and onsite gym
Up to five days paid for volunteering outside of work
This is a really rewarding job. Not only do you support the people responsible for marking the exams, but you get to be part of a dedicated team who are collaborative, they support and encourage each other. During peak periods, you will support a small team of seasonal staff - this is a good opportunity to develop your team leadership skills.
What will I need to succeed?
You need to be organized and good at working under pressure. Due to the time sensitive nature of the work, this is a really fast paced role. You will be contracted for 35 hours per week but there is an expectation for additional hours and some weekend working during peak periods. But it's not all work and no play, the team are really focused on wellbeing and work hard to maintain a fantastic team feeling - everyone is supported and valued.
You need to be able to talk with people, on the telephone and virtual meetings, and be able to proactively resolve issues, multi-tasking is what you excel at - resilience is key.
Accuracy, attention to detail whilst working at pace and the ability to build meaningful working relationships are key to this role so if this is you, we would love to hear from you.
