Exam Invigilator

PolyMAT is a small and ambitious MAT with a unique family feel.  Our vision is ‘Success for Everyone’ and the successful candidate will help deliver this for our schools. We currently have three schools in our Trust: Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys, a long-successful boys’ school, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls that opened in 2019, and Bannockburn Primary School, a large successful primary that joined the Trust on 1st November 2023. We also have our flourishing Sixth Form provision which is co-educational.

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls is looking to appoint Exam Invigilators to join its Exams Team. Invigilators should enjoy working as part of a team. They should be interested in working in a school environment and in supporting our candidates at this stressful time in their school career.

The position is ideally suited to responsible, punctual, calm, organised and approachable individuals who should be educated to GCSE Level or equivalent, with good communication skills.

Experience of working in the education sector would be beneficial, but not essential. Full training will be given to successful candidates.
