Thank you for your interest in the post of Exam Invigilator at the Talentum Learning Trust.

The Trust promotes high aspirations and excellence for all; our aim is to develop a strong partnership between the academies, students, and the wider community to secure an outstanding learning experience for everyone.

Invigilators need to be reliable and punctual, empathetic towards our students, be able to follow instructions, and be able to stand/walk about for up to 3 hours.

The hours of work will be agreed in advance and we can be very flexible with each Invigilator as we understand you may have other commitments to honour. Exact dates would be confirmed well in advance, with the possibility of additional sessions being offered later as unexpected situations arise.

Through this role and by supporting all areas of the school, you will enable us to deliver the best education possible to our students. We expect our staff to be highly motivated, determined and caring.

We offer:

• An established team of Invigilators to work with;
• Automatic enrolment in the Local Government Pension Scheme with employers' contributions of 26.2%;
