Are you passionate about creating equal opportunities for every learner to succeed? At Peterborough College, we believe every student deserves the chance to perform at their best – and we're looking for an Exams Access Arrangements Co‑ordinator to help make that happen.

In this vital role, you'll ensure students receive the right exam access arrangements (EAA) by identifying, planning and implementing support in line with JCQ regulations.

• Maintaining accurate student evidence files and EAA records
• Liaising with feeder schools to collect Form 8s and maintain key transition information
• Supporting students with EHCPs and ensuring appropriate exam provision
• Staying up to date with JCQ regulations and cascading updates to staff
• Working closely with the Wellbeing Team to support learners with mental health needs during exams

• Excellent communication, organisation and attention to detail
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a supportive team
• A commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and equality of opportunity
• Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths (or equivalent)

A background in SEND or learning support is beneficial, but we're equally keen to hear from candidates with the right coordination experience and a genuine passion for supporting learners.

• A competitive salary and Local Government Pension Scheme
• Generous holiday allowance (30 days pro‑rata) plus bank holidays and discretionary days
