We need to add reliable staff to our pool of invigilators for the University’s examinations. This role is vital to ensuring smooth running examinations and enabling our students to perform their best. We are specifically looking for those with experience as a Chief Invigilator for a large exam room and/or Reader/Scribe Invigilators.

There are four main examination sessions every year. You must be available for at least some of the dates of the May exam session. The majority of exams start at 10:00 am and 14:00 pm and last between one and three hours. Exams take place from Monday to Saturday. You can nominate which exam dates and times you are available to work, so that it can fit in with other work or responsibilities you have. Invigilators are required to arrive 1 ½ hours before the exam and likely finish up to one hour after the exam ends. You can claim an hourly rate for the whole time you are working.
Invigilators must attend an invigilator training session before their first session.
