Temporary Marking Administrators

Full Job Description

At AQA, we’re committed to advancing education and we’re committed to our people. As the largest provider of academic qualifications in the UK, we mark over seven million GCSEs and A-levels each year and it’s our people who make this happen.

Are you results driven? Are you a motivator, who can encourage others to deliver their best?

If your answer is yes, then AQA has a great opportunity for you this exam season!

You'll be responsible for a range of customer support and administrative duties as you monitor the progress of our examiners, working alongside a dedicate Marking & Moderation team. By offering your best service, you will enable examiners to deliver their best to students nationwide.

You should have good customer service, attention to detail and an aptitude for problem solving, as you build networks to resolve complications that might prevent our students from achieving the right mark on time. You'll be knowledgeable of MS Office packages and be willing to learn a range of internal systems, whilst equipment and relevant training will be provided.

You'll be working right in the heart of the process; based in our newly refurbished offices, surrounded by the perks of being on site and a lively, engaging team. However we appreciate the importance of flexibility and a selection of roles can be performed on a rotation of home/office work, once a probationary period has been passed.

When the exams are done, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you were part of a process that lead to each student getting the results they earned.

Contract details:
Location: Refurbished offices on the University of Manchester campus
Pay: £12.50 per hour
Start Date: Set intakes in May and June
End Date: late July or early August (depending on role)
Hours: Full time, 35 hours a week

Your submitted application will be reviewed and, if successfully shortlisted, you’ll be asked to attend one of several Assessment Centres that are booked in with dates from March until May. Here you will get to show off your skills, meet with the wider team and get a real feel for what working at AQA is like.

Applications are currently ongoing until we have had the required number of successful interviews; therefore we reserve the right to close this advert without prior warning. An early application is therefore encouraged. We aim to review all applications regularly and provide outcomes in a timely manner.
