Shiplake College is seeking to appoint an Exams Assistant to support our Exams Officer with administrative duties linked to the examinations process. This is a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and accurate operation of our internal and external exam processes.

The ideal candidate for this role will be well organised, have excellent attention to detail, be a great communicator and be able to use your own initiative to prioritise and organise conflicting ongoing and immediate demands.

Flexibility during the exam seasons would be helpful as earlier morning starts and/or longer days may be required. Some knowledge of exam processes and systems would be an advantage along with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel. However, if you are super organised, have excellent attention to detail and thrive in a busy environment we want to hear from you.

Shiplake College is an independent boarding and day school for just around 580 pupils aged 11 to 18. There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since 1998 and since September 2023 girls have been welcomed into Year 7 as the College became fully co-educational. Situated in 63 acres of beautiful countryside near Henley-on-Thames, we offer an outstanding education based on small class sizes, excellent facilities and dedicated teaching staff.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent free lunches and a contributory pension scheme together with access to our gym and sporting facilities and an excellent working environment.

Early applications are welcomed, as the College reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.

Closing date for applications: 10am on Friday 3 October 2025

Interviews to be held the week following the closing date
