Summary
About the role
Looking to develop professionally, connect with a community of subject experts and further inspire your teaching? AQA is recruiting A-level Economics examiners for summer 2026.
You will receive full training from our expert team and take part in online standardisation, which opens for a two-day window so you can complete it at a time that suits you. The activity typically takes a few hours to complete and fits comfortably around existing commitments.
As a new examiner, you will mark a reduced quota of 90 to 110 scripts depending on your paper, with around a month to complete the work. Full details of your quota and earnings will be confirmed when you receive your contract.

• Enhance your teaching - Gain insight into how students respond to exam questions, sharpen your marking skills and bring valuable knowledge back into your classroom.
• Join a community of specialists – Share best practice and work alongside other Economics teachers and examiners, supported by an experienced team leader.
• Flexible working - Mark from home or school at times that suit you, with clear deadlines and ongoing support.
• Earn additional income - Typical earnings range from £720 to £870 depending on the paper.
What you need
• At least three full terms teaching your chosen subject and level within the last five years. We welcome applications from trainee teachers and ECTs for Economics, subject to requirements.
• A senior referee who can verify your relevant experience.
• Preferably a degree, teaching qualification or equivalent in Economics.
• Availability during the marking and standardisation period. Please note key dates for 2026:
