Your Role: Exam Invigilators play a vital role throughout the academic year, supporting internal and external examinations for all year groups at the academy. The role requires you to be patient and supportive of our students whilst adhering to the JCQ guidance for examinations. Invigilation may be in a hall venue with a whole year group supported by other colleagues or in a small room venue supporting more vulnerable students.

• Experienced: Have experience working with children.
• High Expectations: Maintain the highest expectations of behaviour.
• Team Player: Be committed to working as part of a team.
• Organised: Be highly organised.
• Communicator: Have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

What We Offer:

• A unique and inspirational environment to work in.
• A professional and collaborative school with a commitment to continued professional development.
• The opportunity to join a strong staff team, where our values are integral to all we do.
• In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of our children.

Why Longsands Academy? We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational, and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive, and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment, or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or an aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
