Vacancies Assistant Examinations Officer
Permanent
Part time during term time
To start as soon as possible
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.”

For September 2026
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.
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and well-qualified English Teacher to join the school on a fixed purpose (maternity cover) contract, from 1 September 2026 up to the working day before the permanent post-holder returns. The post-holder will teach across the school either on a full time basis or 4 days per week. The successful candidate will be an inspirational teacher who encourages a deep and scholarly engagement with the subject whilst focusing on excellent levels of achievement for pupils of all ages.
Taught by a highly qualified and experienced department of eleven, English is a thriving subject at the school. As a department we believe in the power of great literature from across the canon to inspire our students and enrich their lives, seeking to build in them a meaningful understanding of the development of English literature through time. We also deepen and enrich that study by exposing our students to a multiplicity of perspectives and voices, reflecting the diversity of our student population and of the city in which we live. We value deep subject specialism alongside pedagogical expertise. Our students demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for the subject and there is a large take up for it in the Sixth Form across A Level English Literature, A Level English Language, and the IB Diploma.
Candidates should possess the subject knowledge and skills to teach up to A Level and IB English; prior experience of teaching the IB is not essential. Members of the department are expected to be committed to the development of English at Godolphin and Latymer, including engaging with the whole school enthusiasm for evidence-informed teaching and learning.
All staff are expected to contribute to the thriving extra-curricular programme on offer at the School.
The salary will be commensurate with the post and will depend upon qualifications and experience.
Accommodation may be available for new staff in a local six-unit property.
