Temporary Administrators

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 10 million exam papers 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 will be responsible for a range of administrative duties as you support and monitor the progress of our examiners, as you work alongside a selection of dedicate teams;, including Marking, Moderation & Reconciliation. By offering your best service, you will enable them to deliver their best to students nationwide.
 
Equipment will be provided and you’ll have the chance to showcase your adaptability, as you develop your skills on a range of internal systems.
 
You'll be working right in the heart of the process; based in our central 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.
 
You should have good 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.

When the exams are done, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you were part of a larger purpose and earned CV boosting experience. Plus whilst you’re working with us you’ll have access to a virtual library of training/learning resources and internal vacancies board – where around 50% of subsequent temp and permanent roles are filled from!
