Job Description

The Godolphin and Latymer School is one of the country's leading independent day schools for girls, located on a six acre site in Hammersmith, London. The School's facilities are excellent, making it an exciting place to learn and work. The students at Godolphin and Latymer receive unrivalled academic and pastoral support and outstanding examination results are achieved.


An opportunity has arisen for a suitably skilled applicant to join the school as Assistant Examination Officer, to primarily support the Examinations Officer. You will contribute to the effective delivery of a high-quality examinations service, including the registration and management of all examinations, assessments and certification. The role requires working closely with academic and support staff to ensure that an accurate and responsive service is provided.


You should have experience of working in a busy administration environment, and ideally within an education setting with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office packages (Word, Excel and Outlook). Knowledge of iSAMS is preferred but not necessary as training will be given. You should have an excellent eye for detail, be proactive and used to taking the initiative as you will cover for the Examinations Officer at times.


You should be able to work flexibly to include early starts and late afternoons to adjust to meet the changing needs of the examination timetable.


The working hours are 15 hours per week during the term time, (this is approximately 35 weeks per year). This role will also require you to be in school for the examination results days during the summer holiday.


Given the nature of the examinations schedule, it is envisaged that hours can be spread across the year to allow for more time in examination periods themselves so a degree of flexibility on the part of the postholder is therefore expected. Hours will be pre-arranged in advance and any extra hours worked will be gained as time off in lieu. Overtime will be paid where appropriate.


The salary will be commensurate with the post and will depend upon qualifications and experience.


Fully completed application forms should be returned to recruitment@godolphinandlatymer.com

as soon as possible

. Please note that applications must be made on the school's application form. CVs will not be accepted.

There is no closing date for this vacancy.

Applications will be considered on receipt and interviews may occur at any stage.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media accounts, as part of their application.

All staff working in the School during the school day will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. In this role you are unlikely to be working with children directly but will regularly interact with pupils who may seek your assistance or otherwise interact with you when moving around the school.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children."
