Due to the increasing number of children permanently excluded from mainstream schools, the Sheffield Inclusion Centre is expanding. At present we have a large site at Spring Lane as well as 8 smaller sites/bases across the city to meet local need – we intend to expand extensively the number of bases into areas we do not serve at the moment. These sites are smaller with approximately 15 children, many of whom have experienced trauma or/and have had unmet SEND needs.

 

The new bases will be very different in nature and specialisms include -

• SEND (20% of our school have EHCPs)
• ESOL (working mainly with our Roma/Slovakian children)
• general wraparound bases working with children who need support from a variety of agencies

• reintegration – enabling more of our pupils to return to a mainstream school

 

At the Sheffield Inclusion, we support and develop the careers of the right people who bring consistency and care to our children.

 

We are looking to appoint an Exams and Assessment Officer, and we would welcome applicants from all industry sectors. Experience of working in a school would be an advantage but is not essential as full training will be given

 

You will be confident, energetic and a team player with a good sense of humour. If you feel that you have the dedication, resilience and understanding of the needs of our children we would welcome your application.

 

We are looking for an Exams and Assessment Officer who is:

 

• Positive and has a “can do” attitude
• Confident using IT with excellent skills in word, excel, office, SIMS and examination body systems amongst others
• Competent in all aspect of exams and assessment administration
• A great communicator both written and verbally
• Able to build a great rapport with our pupils and staff
• Flexible – no two days are the same so an ability to adapt quickly is essential
• Organised and methodical
• Accurate and diligent
• Able to work under pressure and time constraints working to strict deadlines
• Ability to work at all levels and lead training across the school in exams and assessments
• Ensure data accuracy
• A team player but able to work on their own initiative

 

 

Our salaries are some of the best in the city and come with an excellent holiday entitlement.

 

What’s not to love – great salary, great holidays and great children! Come and join us.
