Summary
We are seeking flexible and committed individuals to join our team of examination invigilators.
As Exam Invigilator, your role will be to provide support to the examination process, ensuring the fair and proper conduct of examinations whilst enabling students to perform at their best.
Duties will include collecting papers and setting out rooms beforehand, giving out instructions and supervising during examinations and collecting and collating papers at the end. At times you may be asked to act as a reader, scribe or prompt, to supervise students with examination clashes or to assist with other examinations administration.
Good communication and organisational skills are important, along with an ability to be accurate and attentive to detail.

However, it is equally important that you are able to empathise with students and deal with their concerns sensitively, in what is a stressful and important time for them.
The successful candidate will be appointed to point 3 of the Salary Structure for Support Staff, which is currently paid at £12.83 per hour, plus payment for pro-rata holiday entitlement.
