Advert

The school has an exciting opportunity for Exam Invigilators to support with the busy exam periods. Your presence will maintain the integrity of examinations in an environment that enables a student to perform at their best.

You will assist with setting up of exam venues, checking examination packs, assisting candidates and actively invigilating during examinations. You will be required to check attendance, record relevant details, so good communication, both written and verbal, are essential.  You may be required to scribe/read for students – full training will be provided.

Employment for this position is offered on a casual basis. Hours worked vary between 8.00 am and 5.30 pm. Exam sessions are up to three hours, so invigilation sessions may be up to four hours in some instances. You will be asked to attend a training session where full training for the role will be given.

What you will need to succeed:

It is essential that you possess good interpersonal skills and an ability to deal with matters calmly, swiftly and firmly, without being confrontational.  Previous experience in working with secondary school age children would be a distinct advantage as would any previous supervision experience, although this is not essential.  Confidentiality inside and outside the workplace is essential, as is the ability to support the schools ethos and vision into the wide community.

 Candidates should apply as soon as possible as applications will be dealt with as they arrive.
