The Role
The College requires Exam Invigilators to oversee and supervise students during the forthcoming Summer 2025 examination period. There will also be opportunities for invigilation in Autumn 2025, and Winter 2026 examination periods (see dates below). Invigilation opportunities may also arise at other times during the year.
Invigilating involves supervising examinations according to the examination boards’ regulations, distributing question and answer papers, ensuring that the students enter and leave exam rooms calmly and dealing with student queries. We expect Invigilators to approach the job in a serious and professional manner; punctuality and reliability are essential. In addition, Invigilators need to be able to communicate effectively with people. This is an active role and will require Invigilators to be on their feet and walking up/down during the exam in the sports hall or equivalent examination room.
Salary : £13.00 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay). Hours will vary depending on the number of examinations and the number of students taking exams each session.
Training: Successful candidates will be required to complete a compulsory 3-hour online training course.
Timings: Invigilators must be available at the following times:
* Morning session : Duration of exams can take up to 3 hours 45 min. Candidates must be on the College site from 8.00am, and be available until 12.45pm
* Afternoon session: Duration of exams can take up to 3 hours 15 min. Candidates must be on the College site from 12.30pm, and be available until 4.45pm .
Key dates: Invigilators will generally work either a morning or an afternoon session, occasionally both if it is a busy examination day.
* Summer 2025: the exam period runs from Thursday 8 May 2025 to Wednesday 25 June 2025 ( excluding half term: Monday 26 May to Friday 30 May 2025)
* Autumn 2025: the exam period runs from 4 to 10 November 2025
