About the role

As an examiner, you will mark completed exam papers against a mark scheme, working as part of a team with a supervisor who will guide you through the process and answer any queries.

Exams for this subject are marked on-screen using RM Assessor. We will ensure that you are fully trained so you understand the exam process and your part in it. There will also be standardisation activities to ensure you can apply the mark scheme consistently.

The marking window typically lasts 2-3 weeks and falls within the period from May to July. The exact number of scripts allocated will depend on the qualification level and the script length, with a target of between 200 and 450 scripts.

Fees are paid per script marked and vary depending on the complexity and level of the paper, with examiners potentially earning between £240 to £1,500 for marking a full allocation. Specific details and fees will be quoted when you are offered an examining task.
