Job/Person Summary

Examinations are among the most important and stressful events in the life of any learner. It is essential that examinations are conducted in the correct way, and invigilators are crucial to this process.

The post holder will join a team of invigilators who support the academy by providing a high-quality service. They ensure a calm environment for the examinations, giving candidates confidence in the process and freeing up teachers to focus on teaching.  Previous experience of invigilating is not a requirement as full training will be provided. We require individuals interested in seasonal work this November and through the busy exam periods in February, May and June..

Key Skills

• Preparing the examination room, ensuring that tables are set out correctly, clocks are set at the correct time, basic equipment and water are available;
• Admitting candidates to the room in a quiet and orderly fashion, ensuring that they sit in the correct place as specified on the seating plan;
• Ensuring that candidates have the correct examination paper and relevant equipment;
• Conducting the examination according to the Examination guidelines and informing the lead invigilator and/or Examinations Officer of any misconduct or problems;
• Monitoring the conduct of the examination by being constantly vigilant and not doing any other task;
• Collecting in papers and equipment at the end of the examination and helping to sort them ready for dispatch to the Examinations board.

Oasis Academy John Williams is a secondary academy in South Bristol which currently serves just over 880 young people. We are housed in a modern new build [opened in September 2010] with a host of subject specialist rooms and in December 2016 we further enhanced our facilities with a state of the art AstroTurf and tartan-running strip. The Academy is part of the Oasis South West Cluster which has three established secondary schools ( John Williams, Brislighton and Brighstowe) and two additional new start up Free Schools ( Daventry Road and Temple Quarter) opening very soon. Our last Ofsted inspection was in September 2017 where we were again judged to be a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ Leadership and Management. Our student population is 84% White British, 15% SEN, 43% Disadvantaged and 32% FSM. We are proud to be the school of choice for so many in our local community and we have been heavily over-subscribed for the past seven years. We have a strong, supportive staff team committed to raising standards for all our students. Our centrally planned and knowledge-rich curriculum is implemented through evidence-based T&L, rooted in the science of learning and principles of Rosenshine. You will be at the forefront of education technology through the Oasis Horizons project which includes the use of 32GB 8th generation Wi-Fi enabled iPads by all staff and students.
