We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Exams Officer. This is an ideal position for someone who is a team player, has a positive attitude and understands the importance of providing a safe learning environment for all our students.  The successful candidate will have both an eye for detail and ability to work in a fast paced environment.

St Ivo is a large 11-18 comprehensive academy in the town of St Ives, Cambridgeshire. We have around 1700 students with around 300 in our Sixth Form. The school is 70 years old and is proud of its place within the local community. We are a truly comprehensive and inclusive academy. This is reflected in our approach to all areas of our work, from supporting students preparing for Oxbridge through to working with the most vulnerable St Ivo embraces everyone. 

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

What we offer

• Huge support and progression opportunities
• Excellent support from Astrea central team colleagues
• Highly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your back
• Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea Cambridgeshire region
• A very pleasant location in beautiful Cambridgeshire

What we are looking for

• Hard working professionals with excellent knowledge in their area of expertise
• Colleagues who are aligned to our values and mission. If you are the type of person who fits with our culture, you will love working here.
• Colleagues who passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter what their starting point, background or needs. Someone that does not make excuses for what children can achieve.

Our academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to this post would be subject to an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS check with Barred List, satisfactory medical and employment references.

The academy reserves the right to interview shortlisted candidates during the application window (if applicable).
