Job description

Exam Invigilator

Grade B, £12.85 per hour (plus statutory holiday pay)

Casual

We are seeking Exam Invigilators on a casual basis to join our existing invigilation team across Notre Dame School and St Boniface's College to support in the upcoming November 2026 mock examinations.

This role is essential to the smooth running of the examination process. You will need outstanding communication, interpersonal and organisational skills. The successful candidates will be committed to the role and be reliable and punctual. Every year we provide invigilation and statutory training to our team, so whilst previous experience is advantageous, it is not an essential requirement. Experience in a similar setting, or working with young people would be beneficial. Invigilators are able to choose how many exams they invigilate, so there is a degree of flexibility which may allow you to hold this role alongside other commitments or responsibilities, however, we do require complete commitment to whatever work is agreed in advance to ensure the smooth delivery of the exams season for our students.

Invigilators assist the Exams and Data Manager with setting up examination venues with appropriate resources, are responsible for the security of papers and maintain exam conditions until candidates are dismissed. They are responsible for recording attendance and reporting absences, instructing students on exam board requirements before exams commence, overseeing the supervision of students during exams and maintaining a quiet environment for all participants.

Please contact [e-mail] if you have any queries in relation to this role.

The school operates a Safeguarding Children Recruitment Policy and is committed to promoting the welfare of young people. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an Enhanced DBS disclosure.
