The Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across our community of 11 schools and five nurseries. Since forming in 2016, we have grown significantly into one of the largest single employers in Central Bedfordshire. We now educate more than 6,000 children across the area, from nursery age to advanced level study.  It is our aim to grow the BEST in everyone, and everything we do is driven by our values, but our aims can only be achieved if we recruit, retain and develop the highest quality workforce – and we want those we employ to be valued in the workplace. The formative years of BEST have been a real success story – and we are looking forward to an exciting future, too.

We are looking to recruit reliable, organised and confident individuals to join our welcoming team of Invigilators as Lead Exam Invigilators. The Lead Exam Invigilator is the person in the examination room responsible for conducting an examination session in the presence of candidates and fellow Invigilators.
