We are looking to recruit a team of Exam Preparation Assistants to assist our Site Supervisors in moving and arranging desks and chairs in preparation for internal and external examinations.

  A working session will normally be for one to two hours (usually 6am until 8am).  Some afternoon sessions may also be available to clear examination rooms ready for alternative use.

 The position is ideally suited to responsible, punctual, calm individuals who would enjoy lifting and handling work to support the school in delivering exams at various times throughout the year in addition occasional hours may also be available for litter picking when required throughout the year. During the exam seasons desks and chairs will need to be set up and cleared away daily to enable public use of the facilities in the evenings.  Full training will be given.

 The role of Exam Room Preparation Assistant would be suitable for Sixth Form students who are looking for occasional work. The hours fit around Sixth Form lesson commitments as they fall before and after school or during free periods. This role is focused on the moving and lifting of furniture to prepare and clear rooms for examinations and school use. The role does not involve the administration or preparation of exam papers. This role is also suitable for school staff who are not already contracted to work at these times.
