This is an exciting opportunity to join the exams team within an outstanding Sixth Form College. We are seeking proactive individuals to provide an excellent level of support to both staff and students in the College.

The Role:

This role is one that can make a real difference, helping provide students with the best opportunity to achieve the qualifications they have studied so hard for. Exams are among the most important and stressful events in the life of any learner: that’s why it’s so important they are conducted in the correct way and our Invigilators are crucial to this process.

We are currently looking for additional Invigilators, employed on a casual basis, to help oversee both internal and external exams this academic year. Joining an established team, at this outstanding college, you will support the running of exams in a highly regulated environment. You will need to be reliable and punctual, able to relate to learners, and comfortable in a high‑pressure environment.

Your duties will include:

• Setting up examination rooms
• Checking attendance
• Observing candidates
• Collecting scripts
• Liaising with students and staff to resolve queries

Prior experience of invigilation and JCQ guidelines will be an advantage, however, full training will be provided.

Please complete the attached application form and equality monitoring form and email all completed applications to recruitment@prospecttrust.org.uk by 9am, Wednesday 8 July 2026. Early applications are encouraged, as the Trust may at its discretion elect to both interview and select candidates on an immediate basis.

This is in line with statutory guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified applicants, however all disabled applicants who meet our minimum criteria will be invited for an interview.
