Examination Invigilators

We are looking for enthusiastic and organised individuals to join our Exam Invigilation team. Invigilators will be employed on a casual basis. Hours are variable depending upon the exam timetable. The requirement for this exam season will be from 9th May to 27th June and we would expect invigilators to be able to commit to being available during this period. Invigilators will need to be available between 8am and 4.30pm, although hours may vary. They will also need to be available to undertake the necessary training in advance of the main exam season - the training is likely to take place during the week commencing 8th April 2024.

Successful candidates will work as part of a pool of casual invigilators and should have excellent communication skills and the ability to deal with issues calmly and effectively. Invigilators must be reliable, punctual, flexible and able to concentrate for long periods. Previous experience working within a secondary school environment would be an advantage. Full training will be provided.

This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (2013 and 2020)) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ’s guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications and related exceptions and further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.

The school will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. All aspects of social media and internet searches will be conducted. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

Closing date: Monday 1st January 2024.
