They will plan, schedule and deliver the examinations cycle end-to-end; recruit, train and deploy invigilators; manage candidate data, entries and communications; and coordinate access arrangements and special consideration so pupils with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs can access assessments fairly and safely.
