Exam Invigilator

Working hours will be variable depending on examination requirements and the post holder's availability. Exam Invigilators play a key part in ensuring that both internal and external exams run smoothly at St Joseph's. They work under the direction of the Data & Exams Manager to ensure exam rooms are set up correctly and that students are following the appropriate rules and procedures as set out by the school and JCQ.

We are currently looking to increase the number of invigilators due to a continued increase in pupil numbers across all year groups. The main exam season is May and June, however our invigilators also support during internal mock exam periods in December, March and April, to prepare students for their external GCSEs, BTEC and A Level exams. Training is provided to all, and no prior experience is required.

In order to recruit and retain the best possible candidates St Joseph's offers a range of enhancements for staff including:

• Ample free parking on site
• Access to school fitness facilities
• Access to a range of training programmes (including NPQ) to ensure professional development
• A supportive environment where work/life balance issues are considered carefully
• A comprehensive induction programme is provided for all new staff

Applications are welcomed from Catholic and non-Catholic individuals who are supportive of the Catholic ethos of the school.

Thank you for taking the time to consider applying to join our team at St Joseph's. Our school values are summed up in our mission statement. We want all of our students to live life to the full. This mission is underpinned by our FLAME character values of Faith, Learning, Attitude, Mutual Respect and Enrichment. Each member of our school community lives out these values making St Joseph's a truly special community in which to work.

Graded 'Good' in 2022 by Ofsted and Outstanding in 2019 by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, St Joseph's is an 11 - 18 academy which serves the communities of South Tyneside and East Gateshead. The majority of our pupils come from Hebburn and Jarrow with some travelling from much further afield. St Joseph's Catholic Academy is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust which is one of four Trusts in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.

The Trust includes five Secondary and twenty-six Primary Schools across South Tyneside, Sunderland and East Durham, which offers the opportunity to work collaboratively. Within the school and wider trust there are significant opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools.
