Job description

Tonbridge School is seeking a highly organised and proactive Exams Department Assistant to support the successful delivery of all internal and external examinations. Working closely with the Head of Examinations, you will assist with examination administration, the secure handling of confidential materials, invigilation arrangements, results processing and regulatory compliance.

The ideal candidate will have strong administrative skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and confidentiality. Previous experience in examinations administration or a school environment would be advantageous.

This is a term-time position, offering an excellent opportunity to join a supportive team at one of the UK’s leading independent schools. Flexibility in working hours is an essential requirement of the role, as peak examination periods necessitate occasional earlier starts and later finishes to ensure the smooth running of examinations.

Tonbridge School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
