About the Role

We are recruiting for Invigilators to invigilate a wide range of examinations within college, according to awarding body regulations and Heart of Yorkshire Education Group procedures.

Are you looking to make a difference within education and support our young people and adults onto the next stage in their lives? We are a passionate team that puts the students at the heart of what we do.

• Brief candidates with all the necessary information, including making announcements and reading out notices
• Complete all related paperwork

Availability

Ideally, applicants will usually be available during the peak exam periods—November, January, March, May, and June—and throughout the remainder of the year. The role is zero hour ad-hoc and will fluctuate throughout the year, dependent on the volume of enrolments.

You will be required to complete training and work alongside an experienced invigilator on at least two days prior to independent sessions.
