Job Description

Subject Officer: Public Services

Salary: 64,026 - 67,788 per annum, pro-rata (grade 14)

Contract type: Part-time (14.6 hours per week); Permanent

WJEC is developing VCSE's and Foundation qualifications as part of the National 14-16 Qualifications suite, with first teaching beginning from September 2027. We are excited to be inviting applications for a part time Subject Officer for Public Services to join our team.

Subject Officers provide leadership and vision for their designated subject areas, in the context of evolving qualifications frameworks. They have operational management responsibility for the development of qualifications and assessments, and the administration of the examination series in their subject areas, the provision of Professional Learning, and for providing subject-specific advice and guidance to a range of professional audiences. They are budget holders for designated subject areas.

If you have experience teaching or lecturing and a passion for assessment, we would be interested in hearing from you. At WJEC, we pride in being an inclusive and supportive place to work. We also offer a range of excellent benefits including: 25 days annual leave per year (in addition to 16 statutory / additional holidays) adjusted for part-time/compressed working patterns, free Welsh lessons, a generous pension scheme and numerous family friendly policies. A career with WJEC can be extremely rewarding and you will be encouraged throughout with great opportunities to develop your professional and personal skills.

WJEC operates a hybrid working model, enabling the successful candidate to split their time between WJEC offices and working at home, subject to business need. As such, applications are invited from individuals across the UK but please note that regular working from our Cardiff offices will be required. Welsh language skills are not essential but the willingness to learn is always valued.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This role is instrumental to the design and assessment of live qualifications and examination materials. As a result, the successful applicant will not be able to hold a teaching position in a centre offering entry level to level 2 qualifications (e.g. Technical Awards), simultaneously to this post, due to conflict of interest. Applicants are also encouraged to declare any Appointee/Examiner roles (any UK Exam board) that they want to maintain, as part of the application process.

To find out more about the role, or about working for us, please do not hesitate to contact HR, (HR@wjec.co.uk) who would be more than happy to answer your questions.
