Casual Exam Invigilator

Overview

We are looking for people who will provide support to the wider Examinations team with the day-to-day operation of examinations, including setting up rooms and adhering to all exam procedures before, during and after the exam.

Primarily we are looking to recruit invigilators to support the upcoming GCSE English and maths exams during May and June. The key dates for availability for these invigilation posts are: 14/5/26, 21/5/26, 3/6/2026, 5/6/2026, 10/6/2026. It will be essential to attend a training session ahead of these key dates, either on 29th April, 6th May, or 7th May.

The college runs technology based exams and assessments all year round and - for the right candidate with strong I.T skills - there may be opportunities made available to invigilate for these.

Ideally you will hold a qualification in Maths and English at Level 2 (e.g. GCSE), be an effective communicator, with excellent accuracy and attention to detail. Knowledge of JCQ rules and regulations would be preferable but training will be provided.
