St George’s is a thriving independent boarding and day school of 234 girls aged 11-18 around 45% of whom are boarders (full, weekly and flexi) and with a Sixth Form of approximately 80 pupils. St George’s offers an ambitious, connected and future-facing education tailored for pupils to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.

Awarded ‘excellent across the board’ in its November 2022 ISI inspection, the School is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, a place where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcome.

We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting and the ambition of our educational provision.

Our unique extended day and flexible boarding model allows all girls the time and space to foster confidence, independence and academic curiosity providing a future-facing education exclusively for girls in a world not yet designed for girls and introduces them to contemporary subjects and topics, through speakers, workshops, classes and visits. St George’s offers an education that is grounded, relevant and fosters employability.

We are seeking an experienced Exams Officer who will be responsible for the administration and organisation of all aspects of external examinations in accordance with the regulations laid down by the awarding bodies. In addition, they will be responsible for the administration of internal examinations within the School.

The successful candidate should, amongst other attributes, be IT literate, have good verbal and written communication skills, be organised, able to work effectively under pressure and have effective supervisory skills.

Ideally, the School would wish for the successful candidate to be available to start at some point in January 2026, however, for the right candidate, a February start would be considered.

The FTE salary for this role is £34,500 (gross) per annum, which equates to a salary of £18,750 – £19,050 per annum, subject to experience and includes an element to cover statutory holiday pay.

The successful candidate would be required to work just under 30 hours per week, term time only (calculated at 33 weeks) plus 2 weeks to be worked during the school holiday periods (primarily to cover the examination results periods in the summer and iGCSE Mathematics re‑sits in the Autumn). A flexible approach to the hours will be required due to the nature of the post; the annualised hours for this role will be 1040.

The successful candidate will be auto‑enrolled into the School’s Pension Scheme if eligible; additional staff benefits include:

• Use of state‑of‑the‑art gym with Technogym equipment at allocated times
• Staff swimming sessions and family swimming sessions in the recently built 25m, 6‑lane indoor pool
• Supportive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme
• Free Uniform and PPE
• Ample free onsite parking
• Freshly prepared, nutritious lunches in the Dining Room during term time. Meals and refreshments are free of charge.
• The post holder’s children may, upon passing the entrance assessments, be eligible at the discretion of the Governors for a reduction on the basic tuition fees.
