Chair of Examiners (Mathematics), Standards Division

Salary: £45,684 - £52,960
Location: Cambridge

You will play a leading role in maintaining the standards of examinations and key aspects of the assessment and awarding of Mathematics qualifications from specification development, question paper evaluation, moderation and standardisation processes to awarding. Mathematics will be the main focus of the role but there will be the requirement to act as Chair of Examiners for other 14-19 qualifications as required, along with some involvement with Post 19 qualifications. The role may therefore include management of a Deputy Chair for some aspects of the work.

You will have an appropriate level of subject-specific experience or expertise in Mathematics. Along with considerable knowledge of the UK qualifications system and related current developments, you will have an understanding of relevant assessment principles and a proven track record in teaching in schools, FE or HE. You will have participated at a senior level in the examination or assessment process, for example in question paper or task setting, moderation and awarding. Experience of effective chairing meetings will be an essential.
