Are you meticulous and passionate about ensuring smooth and efficient systems? Longsands Academy is seeking dedicated Exam Invigilators to join our dynamic team. This is your chance to make a positive impact in an exciting period of development at the academy.

Your Role: Exam Invigilators play a vital role throughout the academic year, supporting internal and external examinations for all year groups at the academy. The role requires you to be patient and supportive of our students whilst adhering to the JCQ guidance for examinations. Invigilation may be in a hall venue with a whole year group supported by other colleagues or in a small room venue supporting more vulnerable students. There will be numerous ‘examination periods’ throughout the year, some being internal examinations and the key period of mid-May to mid-June for the GCSE examinations.

About You:

  • Excellent Role Model: Actively promote the skills, attributes, and behaviour important in a classroom.
  • Experienced: Have experience working with children.
  • High Expectations: Maintain the highest expectations of behaviour.
  • Team Player: Be committed to working as part of a team.
  • Organised: Be highly organised.
  • Communicator: Have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

What We Offer:

  • A unique and inspirational environment to work in.
  • A professional and collaborative school with a commitment to continued professional development.
  • The opportunity to join a strong staff team, where our values are integral to all we do.
  • In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of our children.

Why Longsands Academy? We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational, and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive, and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment, or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or an aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

Interested in Applying? If this is something you are interested in, please take a look at the Applicant Brief to find out more about the role.

We actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you around our academy to appreciate fully our excellent learning environment.

Longsands Academy, part of Astrea Academy Trust, is a successful, fully-inclusive secondary school at the heart of its community. We pride ourselves on providing an engaging and supportive environment in which our students feel empowered to reach and embrace their full potential with confidence. Our staff are committed to nurturing the abilities of every child with a curriculum which promotes academic excellence and is delivered by subject specialists. The opportunities we provide allow all students to showcase their talents, whether through the traditional school day or as a result of the wealth of extra-curricular activities on offer. Furthermore, in order to develop the important qualities of independent learning and resilience, our students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning both in and out of lessons. We are extremely proud of the achievements of our students that are a result of the high expectations, students’ hard work and commitment and the supportive relationships that exist between staff, students and their parents/carers.

The pursuit of academic excellence is at the heart of the Academy. Through high expectations of behaviour, a commitment to great standards of teaching delivering a knowledge-rich curriculum, and positive working relationships with all members of the academy community, all students, regardless of their background or personal circumstances, are encouraged to achieve their academic aspirations. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge that takes students beyond their everyday experiences. We believe in a traditional, subject-based approach to teaching in order to create a scholarly culture that is disciplined and joyful. We want to ensure that we open doors for every students’ future and develop in them a life-long love of learning.

We are committed to developing our staff to be the very best that they can be by striving to ensure that all of our colleagues can access high-quality Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Our CPD programme is both department-based and in collaboration with academies within the Astrea family and external partners. Wide-ranging opportunities for professional development are available for staff at all stages of their career, including ECTs, experienced classroom teachers, middle and senior leaders and support staff.
