Exam Invigilator job summary

Exam Invigilator – Longsands Academy

Are you meticulous in your approach to work and passionate about supporting students during their examinations? Longsands Academy is seeking dedicated Exam Invigilators to play a vital role throughout the academic year, supporting both internal and external examinations for all year groups.

About Us

Longsands Academy is part of the Astrea Academy Trust, and we pride ourselves on our inclusive, aspirational, and academic environment. Our vision is to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or needs, can thrive and succeed. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child and believe in providing opportunities for all to excel.

The Role

As an Exam Invigilator, you will be patient and supportive of our students while 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, including internal examinations and the key period of mid-May to mid-June for the GCSE examinations.

Key Responsibilities

• Be an excellent role model who actively promotes the skills, attributes, and behaviour important in a classroom.
• Have experience working with children.
• Have the highest expectations of behaviour.
• Be committed to working as part of a team.
• Be highly organised.
• 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.
• A friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, where you can make a real impact on our academy and the lives of our children.

Our Vision

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 their background, prior attainment, or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to go to university or pursue an aspirational alternative. We do not reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. Instead, we redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

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 fully appreciate our excellent learning environment.

Closing Date: Midnight on 6th April 2025.

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.
