Responsibilities include ensuring that examinations are conducted according to JCQ, awarding bodies and the School’s instructions.

No prior experience in invigilation is necessary as training will be provided. Ideal candidates will be flexible, have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and be a confident and reassuring presence for candidates during exams.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must therefore be willing to undergo child protection screening and safer recruitment checks appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
