About this role
Examination Invigilators play a key role in upholding the integrity of external exams/assessment process. As an Examination Invigilator, your presence will maintain the integrity of examinations in an environment that enables a student to perform at their best. As part of the invigilating team, you will work alongside two Examination Officers and a pool of casual invigilators. Duties include setting up examinations venues, checking attendance, distributing and collecting scripts and papers, supervising students during examinations and recording information. Essential skills for this role include, but are not limited to, good interpersonal skills, excellent communication skills, an ability to work in a calm, methodical and organised manner and an ability to deal with matters calmly, firmly and swiftly. The role is flexible and mainly seasonal i.e. in November and in the summer months, but there are also internal Pre-Public exam sessions (mock exams), which are held under formal conditions as well as other ad hoc exams held outside of the main exam seasons. Successful candidates must be able to work on an “as and when needed basis” and sometimes at short notice. Our Associate Staff (non-teaching) perform a fundamental role in improving life chances for our young people, so the Examination Invigilator will be critical in ensuring colleagues are informed, supported and challenged so they can maximise impact of their efforts and support all students to achieve their potential.
