What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for two responsible adults to invigilate, read and scribe for candidates in both internal and external examinations throughout the school this year.

Applicants should be willing to work with students one on one, in small groups and in the larger examination hall. The main examination season runs from May - June with invigilator availability also required during October and January for Mock exams. Sessions are up to three hours and usually take place between the hours of 8:30am and 4:00pm. Applicants will need to be able to offer some flexibility in working around the exams and have significant availability between May and June. This is a casual position and hours offered will be dependent upon your availability and our examination requirements.

Applications are welcome from people with experience, but training will be provided.
