*** Exams Invigilators ***

Casual contract. £11.79 per hour (plus 12.07% holiday allowance)

Would you be interested in helping support our pupils in their GCSE Examinations?

We are seeking to recruit new Exam Invigilators to work with the existing team of highly experienced invigilators in the running of all mock and external examinations at our school, including GCSEs. 

The post would be ideally suited to applicants who feel a sense of responsibility for today’s young people and who are able to work flexible daytime hours. Full training will be provided and working hours will be negotiated for each exam period. 

New invigilators normally work side by side with more experienced colleagues until they are able to work on their own and exams can be anything from a single pupil in their own room to helping cover in the Hall with 200 pupils.

As an exam invigilator you will work within a team to ensure that each exam is run in accordance with the formal guidelines, whilst ensuring that our pupils experience their exams in a calm environment.

The GCSE Exam season will be 22 April – 18 June 2025

You will be required to be in school by 8.00 a.m. for a morning exam and by 12.15 p.m. for an afternoon exam. You would usually be in a session for about three hours (including setting up and clearing away at the end) but some exams can be longer than this. Parking on site cannot be guaranteed.

Our mock exams for this school year are scheduled as follows:

25 November – 11 December 2024

27 January- 29 January 2025

27 February – 28 February 2025

24 June – 04 July 2025

For the mock exams we would require you to be in school by 8.00 a.m. for the first session and 10.30 a.m. for the second session.

There will also be a requirement to attend a paid induction session prior to the Examinations and you will need to commit to at least 2 days (or 4 exams per week) during each period.

We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
