Applicants must be available through the exam period and able to commit to scheduled exam sessions, although hours may vary depending on daily requirements.

The Role 

Watling Academy is seeking dedicated and reliable Exam Invigilators to join our team to assist with internal and external exams. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about ensuring the smooth running of exams and who can help create a calm and compliant environment for our students during this important time. This is a vital role as we support our first Year 12 cohort and prepare other years to take formal examinations.

Your responsibilities would include:

• Preparing exam venues, distributing and collecting exam papers
• Ensuring that all exam regulations are followed
• Maintaining the security of exam papers at all times
• Working independently, but also within a team

Exam Invigilators are required to have strong communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to stay calm under pressure are essential. Your attentiveness will help maintain a fair and controlled setting, allowing students to focus on their exams. While previous experience would be beneficial, it is not required as full training will be provided.
