- Invigilating during examinations, dealing with queries raised by candidates and dealing with examination irregularities in accordance with procedure
- Checking attendance during examinations
- Recording details of late arrivals and early leavers and collecting scripts from early leavers
- Escorting candidates from venues during the examination as required and supervising candidates whilst outside examination venues
- To ensure that any minor behaviour issues are dealt with in line with school policy and that any breaches of Examination Code of Conduct are reported to the Examinations/Data Manager immediately
- Collecting, collating and assisting with the packing of examination papers, stationery and equipment prior to the examinations and delivering scripts at the end of the examination in accordance with strict procedures
- Supervising candidates leaving examination venues, ensuring that candidates do not remove equipment or stationery from the venue without authorisation and ensuring that candidates leave venues in an orderly and quiet manner
- To be available for additional Invigilating training meetings, as and when required
Whether you’re looking for occasional work, want to become more involved in your local community, or are interested in gaining experience working in a school, being an Exam Invigilator is a great way to get involved.
You’ll benefit from:
- Flexible, occasional work that can fit around other commitments
- Full training provided, so previous invigilation experience isn’t necessary
- Support from a friendly school team throughout the examination period
- The opportunity to contribute to your local community
- The chance to support young people at an important stage of their education
- A role where you can make a genuine difference to students’ exam experience
