About you

As an Exam Invigilator, your presence will maintain the integrity of examinations in an environment that enables a student to perform at their best. You will assist with setting up of exam venues, checking examination packs, assisting candidates and actively invigilating during examinations.

You will be required to check attendance and record relevant details, so good written and verbal communication is essential. It is essential that you possess good interpersonal skills and an ability to deal with matters calmly, swiftly and firmly, without being confrontational.

Previous experience working with secondary school children would be a distinct advantage as any previous supervision experience, although this is not essential.

Confidentiality inside and outside the workplace is essential, as is the ability to support the school's ethos and vision into the wider community.
