During examination periods and periods of peak activity, there is an expectation for the post-holder to travel to other sites or spend more time on campus to support core business processes. About us The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us. We are the Examinations Team. We manage the organisation and operation of over 2,600 invigilated examinations annually for more than 120,000 candidatures, including those delivered overseas and online, and for all King’s College London students.  We are responsible for the delivery of a comprehensive service that is fit for purpose and evolves constantly to meet the needs of our students. This includes devising and implementing all associated business processes to ensure they are responsive and proactive, and driving a culture of service management and improvement that centres our students at the heart of the service.  We are part of the wider Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education.
