Description
• Help coordinate high-volume training and events that support
teachers and Assessment Associates across Pearson qualifications. You will keep
information, stakeholders, resources and customer support moving accurately
through busy delivery cycles.
Also known in the market as: Training and Events Advisor; Training Operations
Advisor; Events Operations Coordinator; Learning Events Coordinator.
About the Role
Pearson’s Qualifications Processing directorate brings together teams that
support the accurate delivery of General and Vocational Qualifications. Training
from Pearson delivers more than 10,000 training events for teachers and
Assessment Associates each year.
In this role, you will support the planning and organisation of mainly
Zoom-based training events, with a likely focus on vocational qualifications
such as BTEC and T Levels. You will work with internal assessment teams to
gather event information, coordinate support and resolve operational questions.
This is a varied role for someone who enjoys accuracy, customer service and
ownership. Work volumes change across the year, so
you will need to prioritise
confidently, adapt quickly and maintain quality during peak periods.
What You’ll Do
• Coordinate the scheduling, resourcing and organisation of meetings and
training events.
• Work with internal stakeholders to gather event requirements and keep
delivery on track.
• Maintain accurate management information and provide visibility across the
event lifecycle.
• Arrange proportionate staff support for online standardisation and training
events.
• Monitor attendance requirements and contact delegates proactively to confirm
attendance.
• Respond to customer queries through email, chat and CRM within agreed service
levels.
• Support operational protocols, Associate payment schedules and efficient team
processes.
• Take ownership of a qualification and its processes, including service
levels, operational meetings and team support.
What We’re Looking For
• Experience in an administrative or operational environment.
• A strong track record of organising your workload across multiple
high-priority tasks.
• Ability to work accurately to tight and immoveable deadlines.
• Experience making fact-based decisions in time-pressured situations.
• Customer-facing experience in a fast-paced or demanding environment.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and confidence maintaining stakeholder
relationships.
• Attention to detail, including during repetitive or high-volume work.
• A positive, flexible approach to change, new processes and multiple IT
systems.
• Five GCSEs or equivalent at grades A* to C, including English and
Mathematics.
• Intermediate Excel, Zoom familiarity, regulated-sector experience or
education-sector experience would be helpful.
Location & Working Pattern
This role is based fully on site at Pearson’s Fretwell site in Hellaby, Monday
to Friday, 08:00 to 16:
00. The team’s workload changes throughout the year, with
busier summer periods. Occasional rota-based weekend support may be discussed
for peak delivery in May and June.
Why Join Pearson?
Join a customer-focused team that enables large-scale training for teachers and
Assessment Associates. You will build broad operational experience across
qualifications, virtual events, stakeholder coordination and continuous
improvement while taking ownership of visible delivery outcomes.
