We are looking to recruit a pool of reliable people to support examinations. Working hours are typically from 8.30am until 1.35pm for morning sessions and 2.05pm until 4.10pm for afternoon sessions. Our Invigilators may work whole day or part day sessions and availability during the external exams held nationally from May to June, along with flexibility is crucial to the effective invigilation of exams.

The role is essential to the smooth running of the examination process. In addition to ensuring correct exam procedures are followed in line with JCQ guidelines, the successful applicant will be responsible for the setting out and collecting of exam papers and materials, admitting students to the exam hall/room, invigilating exams and collating papers to be sent off to the Exam Board.

No experience is needed as full training will be given but experience of working with young people will of course be an advantage. The main examination period is during May and June and you must be available to cover at least 4 exams a week during the summer series. There will be other in-house examinations requiring invigilators at various points in the year.

King’s Academy Easthampstead Park combines traditional values with a dynamic education toprepare every child for the modern world. Through a broad, research-backed curriculum and strongpersonal development, we nurture unique individuals, building the confidence, knowledge, and selfesteem they need to reach their full potential.

Following our last OFSTED inspection in February 2026, the inspection team noted that "pupils are happy at this welcoming school" and that "staff know pupils well and understand their individual needs." The report captured our inclusive environment, observing that "pupils feel safe in school," that "in lessons and around the school, pupils behave well," and that "pupils embrace one another's differences and understand why equality matters." Crucially, inspectors highlighted that "leaders have high aspirations and expectations of pupils."

We are a restless school, always seeking to improve, and aspire to provide the very best possible quality of education for all of our students. This is driven by a core belief that all of our students deserve nothing but the best possible teaching and support in order to be happy, healthy and successful.

King’s Academies are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young students and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need to undertake an Enhanced DBS check.

Employment is with King's Academies and not Bracknell Forest Council. The Trust is very popular and for most posts a large number of applications are received - it is therefore not possible to notify all applicants of the outcome. Please accept that if you have not heard within two weeks of the closing date then, unfortunately, your application has been unsuccessful - in which case we offer our best wishes for the future.
