Subject Officer: Foreign Languages
Salary: £62,160 - £65,814 per annum, pro-rata where applicable (grade 14)
Contract type: 1x Part-time (14.6 hours per week), Fixed term until 31 December 2026

We are excited to invite applications for two Subject Officers with experience in one or more of the following subjects: French, Spanish, and Latin to join the team.
The successful applicants will lead on delivering one or more qualifications from our portfolio of WJEC and Eduqas general qualifications including GCSE, AS and A level, and vocational qualifications including Global Business and Communication, and our Language Pathways suite.
Subject Officers provide leadership and vision for their designated subject areas, in the context of evolving qualifications frameworks. They have operational management responsibility for the development of qualifications and assessments, the administration of the examination series in their subject areas, the provision of Professional Learning, and for providing subject-specific advice and guidance to a range of professional audiences. They are budget holders for designated subject areas.
If you are an experienced teacher or lecturer who has a passion for teaching and assessment, we would love to hear from you. WJEC is proud to offer a variety of benefits, including 25 days annual leave together with 16 days statutory and additional holidays (pro-rata where applicable), free Welsh language courses, a generous pension scheme, and numerous family-friendly policies.
This role is a hybrid post, enabling the successful candidate to split their time between WJEC offices and working at home, subject to personal preference and business need. Applications are invited from individuals across the UK, but please note that the role will require regular working from our Cardiff offices. Welsh language skills are not essential, but the willingness to learn is always valued.
There are two vacancies within the Languages area (full-time, permanent and part-time, fixed term). Please indicate whether you would like to be considered for both vacancies or if you are only interested in either the full-time, permanent or the part-time, fixed term contract in your application form.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This role is instrumental to the design and assessment of live qualifications and examination materials. As a result, the successful applicant will not be able to hold a teaching position in a centre offering level 2 and level 3 qualifications (e.g. GCSEs and GCEs), simultaneously to this post, due to conflict of interest. Applicants are also encouraged to declare any Appointee/Examiner roles (any UK Exam board) that they want to maintain as part of the application process.
To find out more about the role or about working for us, please do not hesitate to contact HR at HR@wjec.co.uk, who would be more than happy to answer your questions.
