What skills and experience we're looking for

The Stephen Longfellow Academy is seeking to recruit an inspirational colleague to the role of Exam Invigilator. This role is of great importance to our work as an Academy. The Invigilator will be responsible for ensuring a calm environment which will give the candidates the best possible opportunity to be successful in their exams.

Potential applicants should have:

  • The ability to co-operate and collaborate with school staff.
  • Effective communication skills with young people and adults.
  • Ability to follow written procedures to carry out tasks.
  • Meticulous attention to details.

About us:

Working as part of The GORSE Academies Trust, The Stephen Longfellow Academy offers both exceptional education and therapy. Students are taught national curriculum subjects and have access to a range of therapeutic services such as counselling. Therapy is delivered as both an integrated part of our timetable but also within discrete groups or on a 1:1 basis. We believe a therapeutic and nurturing approach allows our students to grow in confidence and increase their self-esteem so that they can successfully integrate into their learning environment and the wider community.

By developing personalised learning programmes to meet the needs of vulnerable young people, we want all of our students to have the opportunities similar to those found in large mainstream schools, so that they can leave as confident young adults, ready to seize the opportunities of further education, training or work.
