Our vision is for dynamic, empowered learners who thrive and lead in their communities: locally, nationally and globally. Our schools are at the heart of their communities and as well as providing a broad, rich, and vibrant curriculum to pupils they also provide sporting, community education and other facilities and opportunities to their local community.
We’re committed to making Anglian Learning a place where everyone feels valued and has equal access to the opportunities our Trust offers. We are always open to discussing flexible working opportunities or making adjustments to ensure you thrive in your role with us.
The Vacancy
We are now seeking additional Invigilators to join our highly effective team, to help administer both internal and external examinations throughout the school year. The purpose of the role is to ensure that examinations are conducted according to the regulations and that all candidates have the opportunity to perform to the best of their ability.
We teach a variety of GCSE syllabuses and vocational qualifications from each of the main boards: AQA, Edexcel and OCR, and also conduct internal examinations for Years 9 to 11. Invigilators supervise pupils during the examinations, ensuring that official guidelines and regulations for the integrity and security of examination papers and procedures are followed. Staff and pupils work extremely hard to prepare for examinations. Therefore, to ensure adequate staffing for their smooth running it is particularly important that our Invigilators are reliable and committed to the role and to the particular examination periods they agree to work. Flexibility, accuracy and common sense are also essential qualities. Previous experience is not essential as full training will be given. Working hours will be by negotiation during examination periods. Please read the candidate information pack for full details. We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible as we may be able to offer interviews to suitable applicants before the closing date.
Commitment to safeguarding
Anglian Learning is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff to share this commitment and those in regulated activity will be subject to an Enhanced DBS Check and online checks. Certificate of Good Conduct and other applicable checks may be requested.

Sawston Village College is an inclusive, comprehensive 11-16 academy, set on a picturesque open campus, a few miles south of the culturally iconic and aspirational city of Cambridge. It was the first purpose-built Village College in England and we are proud of the fact that it is still heralded as a model for community education and remains true to Henry Morris’ founding principles. Many members of the local community visit each week to participate in learning, sporting or leisure activities. We are also proud to be a founding member of the Anglian Learning Trust, a family of like-minded schools serving over 5500 pupils from ages 3-19 in this region. The Trust affords us opportunities to learn from each other, prosper from outstanding leadership development and build strong professional networks to achieve ambitious objectives.
We are a very welcoming and highly successful school, one in which all staff are valued and all contribute to our strong caring ethos. The College is listed in the top ten state secondary schools without a sixth form in the UK (The Sunday Times, 2023). Pupils are at the centre of all that we do but we can only succeed when all professionals work together, collaboratively and supportively, to ensure a positive, safe and calm learning environment in which all pupils can thrive. We ensure our staff have the resources, development and opportunities to fulfil their roles and responsibilities. Staff wellbeing is vital to our success and we consider workload and the working environment very carefully.
