    Job Description

    The IELTS Admin Assistant plays a vital role within IDP's IELTS Administration team, supporting the efficient coordination and delivery of IELTS testing services in the Eldoret region.

This role requires a detail-oriented, proactive individual who will assist with scheduling, data entry, correspondence, and logistical organisation related to IELTS testing sessions.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Coordinate and manage IELTS test bookings, including registration, rescheduling, and cancellations, while maintaining meticulous records and data accuracy.
    • Serve as a primary point of contact for candidates, responding promptly and professionally to inquiries via phone, email, and online platforms.
    • Assist in the preparation and distribution of test materials and documentation to ensure compliance with IELTS standards and policies.
    • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to support the logistics of test day operations, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery.
    • Maintain the IELTS database by entering and updating candidate information and test results confidentially and securely.
    • Provide administrative support in the preparation of reports, schedules, and briefings to support IELTS management and stakeholders.
    • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by providing feedback on administrative processes and suggesting efficiency enhancements.
    • Ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements, data protection guidelines, and organisational policies.

    • Proven experience in an administrative role, preferably within the education, testing, or customer service sectors.
    • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks accurately under tight deadlines.
    • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, capable of engaging effectively with diverse stakeholders.
    • Proficiency in using computer applications and databases, including Microsoft Office Suite and data management systems.
    • Demonstrated attention to detail and commitment to maintaining confidentiality in handling sensitive information.
    • Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment and independently when required.
    • A positive, customer-focused attitude with a dedication to delivering high-quality service standards.
    • Familiarity with IELTS testing procedures or international education services is an advantage but not essential.
    • A willingness to learn and adapt to evolving digital platforms and administrative technologies.

    Show Your Organisational Grit Before the Interview

    This role lives on precision and calm under pressure. Hiring managers will look for proof you can juggle schedules, keep records spotless, and handle candidate queries without dropping the ball.

    1. Tailor your CV to admin proof: Highlight specific admin tasks you've owned—booking systems, databases, or scheduling tools. Use numbers: how many appointments, how many records updated, how many queries answered daily.

    2. Prepare a data-entry accuracy story: Be ready to describe a time you caught an error or prevented a mix-up. IELTS admin is unforgiving on mistakes, so show your double-checking habit.

    3. Practice your customer-service tone: You'll be the first voice candidates hear. Prepare a calm, professional response to a frustrated test-taker scenario.

    4. Brush up on MS Office and CRM basics: Expect practical questions on Excel sorting, mail merge, or CRM data entry. If you've used any database, rehearse how you'd explain it.

    5. Show you can work independently: This role mixes teamwork with solo tasks. Have an example of managing your own workload without constant supervision.

    6. Learn the IELTS basics: Even though it's not essential, knowing the test format (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) shows initiative. Mention it in the interview.

    7. Emphasise confidentiality: You'll handle personal data. Talk about how you've protected sensitive information in past roles—this is a big trust signal.

    8. Ask smart questions: Ask about the team's current admin bottlenecks or how success is measured in the first 90 days. It shows you're already thinking like a problem-solver.
