Job Description: Test Administrator (Scotland) TIMSS 2027 Field Trial, March 2026. PIRLS 2026 Main Study, May-June 2026. Background Pearson is responsible for the delivery of two international assessment studies in schools in Scotland: 1. PIRLS. The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) assesses the reading achievement of pupils at about age 10 (P5 in Scotland), every five years across about 60 countries. In addition to reading achievement, PIRLS gathers information on how pupils' performance is related to their attitudes, gender and background. PIRLS includes questionnaires for pupils, teachers, headteachers and parents/carers which together provide rich contextual data for the interpretation of the assessment., 2. TIMSS. The Trends in Maths and Science Study (TIMSS), assesses the performance in maths and science of pupils at ages 10 and 14, (P5 and S2 in Scotland) every four years across about 60 countries. It provides internationally comparative data on pupils' achievement in maths and science, and how their performance is related to their attitudes, gender and background. In addition to the assessment, TIMSS includes questionnaires for pupils, teachers, headteachers, and parents/carers, which together provide rich contextual data for the interpretation of the assessment and add valuable perspectives on the teaching of mathematics and science. Pearson is recruiting external Test Administrators to administer these studies in schools in Scotland. More information about each study is available online: (url removed) (url removed) In each study the pupil assessment is delivered online and is split into two assessment sections followed by a questionnaire section. Test Administrators (TAs) will therefore need to be confident using technology. However, training will be given on accessing and using the online platforms used in each study, and schools are asked to have an IT technician available on the day. Online training is mandatory to ensure standardisation in the delivery of each study's requirements. Purpose Test Administrators (TAs) administer the pupil online assessments and questionnaires within designated schools, ensuring that the international procedures are adhered to in full. Personnel who are engaged for this role will be trained remotely on the procedures and must complete pre-training activities and attend a live training/Q&A session in the two to three weeks prior to each test window. Preparation for the training session will include reading the TA manual and completing short online assessments on aspects of the pre-training materials. For each study TAs will be trained and contracted separately so that if you are available or wish to take part in only one of the studies this will be possible.

Relevant Experience, • Experience of teaching and / or working in a school classroom., • Confident using IT applications, particularly for onscreen assessment., • Experience of invigilating tests / examinations. Competencies Required, • Ability to adhere to specified procedural standards., • Confident troubleshooting common technology user issues., • Excellent verbal communication skills., • Good organisation and administrative skills., • Ability to identify, communicate and escalate issues promptly and effectively., • Ability to work to agreed timeframes.
