Summary
About the role
Looking to build your CPD, share best practice with a community of subject experts and further inspire your teaching? AQA is recruiting GCSE examiners for Religious Studies for summer 2026. This flexible role fits alongside a full-time teaching job and is completed online from home.
Key responsibilities
• Review student responses and apply the mark scheme accurately and consistently to ensure fair results.
• Commit an average of 15 to 20 hours a week to marking during the exam period.
• Mark around 190 exam papers.
• Complete your marking over approximately one month. Full details of your allocation, deadlines and earnings will be confirmed when you receive your contract.
Why become a GCSE Religious Studies examiner?
• Benefit from expert training and support. We will equip you with everything you need to feel confident and succeed.
• Build your CPD, 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 subject specialists. Share best practice and work alongside other Religious Studies teachers and examiners, supported by an experienced team leader.
• Mark from home or school at times that suit you, with clear deadlines and ongoing support.
• Estimated earnings approximately £1,000 depending on paper and quota.
What you need

• A senior referee who can verify your relevant experience.
• Preferably a degree, teaching qualification or equivalent in Religious Studies or a related field.
• Take part in standardisation, which gives you the chance to practise applying the mark scheme before marking begins. Standardisation typically takes a few hours and fits around your existing commitments.
• Availability during the standardisation and marking windows for your selected paper.
If you teach Religious Studies and want paid work you can do from home while boosting your CPD and enhancing your teaching skills, we’d love to hear from you.
