Why Join Us?

As a major employer in Cambridge and the West Midlands, we have over 1,500 staff in the UK, not to mention the 20,000+ who work with us as associates around the world. But we know we’re not the only option out there, so why do our people think you should consider joining us?

Put simply, the most frequent words our people use to describe working at Cambridge Assessment are friendly, enjoyable and challenging.

Not enough to convince you yet? Well, here are just some of the things we believe help contribute to this view:


Interesting and rewarding work with a conscience

Interesting and rewarding work with a conscience

Whether you are part of our catering team or developing one of our new qualifications, every person here is helping to make a difference. Being part of the education of eight million candidates in 150 countries around the world every year, means we are all helping to open doors to a better future every day. And whether you are passionate about that or not, we think you’ll agree it is always good to know you’re working with a Group with a conscience.

 

Values

There are four organisation values that are important to us:

  Collaboration
Openness
Taking Responsibility
Innovation & Improvement

 

 

 

 

We expect people at every level of the Group to demonstrate these values in all areas of their work, and whilst there are other things that are important to each business area as well, we aim for these to be at the heart of everything we do. And we believe actions speak louder than words when it comes to demonstrating this.

 

Great PeopleGreat people

We think we’re great people to work with, but then maybe we’re biased! What we are certain about though is that if you join us you’ll be surrounded by talented people with diverse backgrounds and skills, working together in a friendly and supportive way.

 

Real development opportunities

As one of Europe’s largest assessment agencies we have ambitious plans to become the leading world authority on assessment. It matters to us that people rise to bigger challenges and reach their potential, so as your ambitions and interests grow there will be opportunities to move around the business and gain new skills.

We offer an environment where people’s development is at the heart of what we do and see development as a continuous process rather than an occasional event. We’ll expect you to take responsibility for fulfilling your own potential but with an extensive training and development programme in place, we will provide the opportunities for you to manage this.

 

Reputation

In 2008, we celebrated 150 years and we are still going strong! We’re proud of our heritage – being part of Cambridge University has helped us get where we are today. However it is not all we are by a long way. Our reputation for quality is important to us and now is an exciting time to be joining the Cambridge Assessment Group aLocations and facilitiess we continue to gear up for the future – on screen marking, results by text – just a couple of examples of innovative product developments that are helping to keep us at the forefront of assessment.

 
Locations and facilities

Did you know that we’re not only based in Cambridge? We also have sites in Coventry and Birmingham, as well as a number of other smaller offices around the UK and overseas. We’re continuing to invest in new facilities and infrastructure across the Group so that our people can enjoy bright and airy offices equipped with up-to-date technology; helping them to keep working at their best.
