Christchurch Boys’ High School needs to fill the position of NCEA Exam Centre Manager. Although the school is advertising the job, the appointee will be employed by NZQA and will be responsible to them. The appointee will also work closely with school management.  

In short, the appointee will be responsible for the organisation, management and running of the NCEA exams, in the school, during November and December. A high degree of planning and organisational skills is required.

Several of the main roles are:

• Planning the number of rooms required for each examination
  
• Organising a team of supervisors and their schedule
  
• Doing seating plans for each room for each exam
  
• Organising the exams papers for each exam
  
• Planning for the students permitted reader/writer or computer assistance
  
• Ensuring the exams are run according to NZQA’s rules
  

NZQA provide training for people new to the position.

The retiring ECM has also offered to help the new appointee with advice and guidance should that be necessary.
