School Administrator

Working closely with our Examinations Manager, the Examinations Administrator will provide high-quality administrative and operational support, playing a crucial part in the planning, logistics and delivery of both internal and external public examinations. The ideal candidate will have strong organisational and IT skills with a keen eye for detail. They will be able to demonstrate excellent communication and administrative skills. The ability to work calmly, professionally and efficiently under pressure is essential. During the peak examination period in May and June, the role ideally requires an adjustment to working hours to include an early start, between 7:00 and 7:30 am, to prepare for the day's examinations. Availability in mid-August to assist with the administration of A-level and GCSE results is also required. In exchange for flexible working during peak times, the school can offer flexibility in the working schedule during the year. Experience of working in a similar role or in an education setting would be advantageous but is not essential. Candidates are welcome to contact admin@parmiters.herts.sch.uk to arrange an informal discussion about the role or to visit the school before application.
