Exams Invigilator

Required at various times throughout the academic year.

We are expanding our current team of invigilators to assist the school with external and internal examinations.

We are looking for enthusiastic people who can demonstrate common sense, accuracy, attention to detail and are willing to provide the best exam experience possible for students. You must be punctual, have a flexible attitude to work and possess excellent communication skills in both written and spoken English with legible handwriting as you will on occasion work as Readers and Scribes for the students. Our Invigilators are responsible for ensuring that exams are run according to JCQ regulations and that all students are supervised and their individual needs catered for during each exam.

You should:

• Be an excellent role-model for young people

• Be able to work effectively both on your own and within a team

• Have excellent attention to detail

• Ideally have a formal qualification in English and Maths (we will need proof of qualifications)  

• Be able to offer a medium to long term commitment and flexibility in working hours and be available during the exams period which are the final week in November, the beginning of December, two weeks in March and throughout May, June & July 

Invigilators work on a casual basis and are asked for their availability prior to each examination period. There will be times throughout the academic year when there are no exams and no requirement for invigilators. Equally there will be very busy times during statutory examination periods.

This would be an ideal job for someone looking for part-time occasional work or for someone who is retired or semi- retired.

No experience is necessary as full training will be provided for successful candidates, but applicants need to be reliable, punctual, highly flexible, calm under pressure and confident in dealing with teenagers. Checkable references and full DBS clearance will be required as is the requirement to show your original qualification certificates.

Shortlisted applicants will be contacted on a rolling basis as and when applications are received. Successful applicants must attend a training session prior to commencing work.
