We are looking to expand our team of Exam Invigilators to support the school with invigilation of external and internal examinations. Examinations are run strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations of the respective examinations boards, the Joint Council of Qualifications (JCQ) and the school. The role is to commence as soon as possible.
Successful applicants will be required to work professionally as a member of an excellent team who ensure regulations are followed in a supportive environment for our students taking examinations. Duties will include:
- Admitting candidates to the examination rooms in a quiet and orderly way
- Handing out and collection of examination materials
- Vigilance whilst an examination is running
All Invigilators are responsible for ensuring that the conduct of the exam takes place within the stipulated guidelines. The role requires effective and confident communication, the ability to work under pressure and to multi-task. You must be able to enforce regulations firmly but fairly if necessary and deal effectively and promptly with any problem. You must be willing to attend all necessary training and adhere at all times to JCQ regulations. Punctuality, flexibility, reliability and an eye for detail are essential. Experience of working in the education sector would be beneficial but not essential.
