We are seeking energetic and enthusiastic individuals to join Reach Schools.

Invigilators are the people in examination rooms responsible for conducting examinations in the presence of students, and have a key role in upholding the integrity of the external examination/assessment process.

The role will involve providing necessary support to exam candidate’s needs, and remaining alert to possible instances of misconduct. The successful candidate will liaise with staff to resolve queries and help to create a calm environment during the course of exams, while following all school protocols in full accordance with guidance issued by the Joint Qualifications Council and examining bodies. 

You may be asked to act as a reader or scribe for students and training will be provided for this as well as any other essential training.

The work is paid on an hourly basis and you will be required for a mix of sessions, mornings, afternoons and all day sessions.
