The senior leader responsible for examinations and assessments should take responsibility for the interview process to appoint a new exams officer and ideally conduct the interview or be part of the interview panel
Consideration should also be given to the type of questions which will be asked during the interview. These should be based upon:
- Experience and background
- Scenarios which may be faced by an exams officer and how these could be dealt with
- Examination regulations and processes/procedures as set by the Joint Council for Qualifications and the awarding bodies
- Centre specific requirements
- Examples detailing where the applicant has displayed the necessary skills to undertake the exams officer role
