The role of Examination Invigilator is to ensure that examinations are conducted according to the most up-to-date JQC (Joint Council for Qualifications) regulations, under the supervision of the Examinations Officer. This includes providing administrative and practical assistance before, during and after an examination, as well as observing the candidates at all times during an examination. There is scope for this role to also include being a reader (reading the examination paper to a candidate) or scribe (writing answers that the candidate has dictated).

Examination invigilators have an essential role in upholding the integrity of the external examination process. You will need to be reliable and have good timekeeping skills. You must be confident in working independently, as well as working as part of a team. It is essential that readers and scribes have good written and verbal skills. You will need to be able to deal within expected situations confidently and calmly.

Whilst there will be a number of opportunities throughout the year, you must be available to work flexible hours throughout the key months of May and June each year. Although we would not expect you to be available all day, every day during the summer examinations, we will be looking for invigilators who will have availability during most of these dates.
