About this role
Supporting students to achieve success is important at Gillotts. Our academic standards are both high and improving. In 2026, 74% of students achieved the benchmark of grade 5 or above in both English and maths. We are seeking reliable, detail-oriented individuals to join our invigilation team on a flexible, casual contract. You will play a vital role in ensuring internal and external exams run smoothly, fairly, and in line with official regulations. As an Exam Invigilator, under the direction of the Examinations Officer, you will: • Supervise candidates and maintain quiet, fair exam conditions. • Set up exam rooms, distribute, and securely collect exam materials. • Monitor rooms to ensure student compliance with exam procedures. • Support students with special arrangements (e.g., readers, scribes, or extra time). What you’ll bring: • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow strict guidelines. • Excellent communication skills and a calm, professional manner. • Ability to relate to young people in a positive manner. • Punctuality and reliability. No experience required - full training will be provided. Why apply? • Ideal for those seeking extra income or flexible, non permanent work, or work on a temporary basis. Invigilation sessions are offered based on exam schedules and your availability. Gillotts aims to maximise achievement through effective and inspiring teaching and support to students, so if you share these values and would like to join this supportive, and high-achieving school, we’d like to hear from you. Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone.

OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles. Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
