We are looking to appoint some Examination Invigilators to add to the existing team at St Benet Biscop Catholic Academy. This is a fantastic opportunity to join our school community and we are looking for reliable and confident people, with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills, who will assist in the provision of an effective and efficient examination process within our school.

All invigilators are employed on a casual basis. The main examination season runs from May until the end of June and we would welcome applications from people who are able to commit during these times. We also have periods of trial exams throughout the year. Full training will be provided so previous experience as an Examination Invigilator is not necessary, however applicants should indicate in their supporting statement what they could bring to this role in terms of skills and experience.

St Benet Biscop is a popular and oversubscribed school which is highly regarded within the community and we offer high quality education in a Catholic Christian environment. St Benet Biscop is part of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust. It is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction as it is a very supportive environment with an open and positive working culture. In our last Ofsted inspection, we were graded as “good” in all areas. Ofsted highlighted:

• “There is a strong sense of community at St Benet Biscop.”

• “Pupils get along well with each other and with the staff.”

• “Lessons proceed calmly, and pupils engage well with their learning.”

• “Staff say senior leaders consider their workload and listen to their views.”

• “Staff at the school have a good understanding of safeguarding because they are well trained.”

Applications from all denominations are welcome.
