• Excellent organisational skills with a keen eye for detail.
  
• Strong leadership ability with experience managing diverse teams.
  

Upon appointment, all ECM’S must complete an online training programme and attend a one-day training session with NZQA in August. This will allow you to plan and complete several administrative tasks to prepare for the exams between August and October. 

You must be fully available to work for the entire exam period, from November 4th to November 28th, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM.  As such, the role requires a high level of organisational skills with great attention to detail, the ability to follow processes precisely, confidence in leading people of all ages, and proficiency in using a computer and learning new computer programmes.
