Examination invigilators are required to assist during exam periods within the hours of 8.30am - 5.30pm (with one hour unpaid lunch), Monday - Friday during Summer Exam Period (approximately 6 weeks) and to invigilate internal exams which will normally be held in November (1.5 weeks approximately) and January (1.5 weeks approximately). At times it may be necessary to work out of these hours.

The invigilator is required to work as part of a team in the main Examination Hall to ensure that examinations are carried out according to the rules set out by the Examination Boards.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
