Job Description
Exam Invigilator

Required: Easter 2026
Line Manager: Exams Officer
Pay: £14.89 per hour
Hours: Casual
Closing date: Monday 26th January, 12:00 noon

The Role

We are looking to appoint a reliable and committed individual to join our team of Invigilators for exams taking place
throughout the academic year. Our ideal candidates will be well-organised, excellent communicators, have experience
supervising  children  and  be  both  reliable  and  flexible.  Prior  invigilation  experience  would  be  an  advantage,  but  full
training will be provided for the successful candidates.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the examination success of one of the country’s leading
HMC Independent Schools, and the future prospects of its pupils.

The School

The King’s School is one of the dozen oldest schools in the country and has a proud heritage dating back to at least
1087, with a re-foundation in 1541. King’s is the Cathedral School in the city of Gloucester, whilst the surrounding
county is home to many excellent grammar and state schools, as well as other independent schools. King’s is held in
high regard amidst this competitive area; our academic, co-curricular and pastoral attainment is second to none. As a
result, the last three ISI reports for King’s have all been classified as ‘excellent’ in every area. Local media brand SoGlos
has awarded King’s the title of ‘Independent School of the Year’ or ‘Highly Commended’ in every one of the last five
years – a feat unmatched by any other local independent school – most recently winning the title in May 2025. Despite
the  multiple  national-scale  challenges  of  recent  years,  King’s  has  seen  its  pupil  roll  growing  steadily  and  parental
satisfaction scoring very highly indeed. With careful investment in the campus and facilities, as well as a continuous
focus on improving teaching and learning and developing our outstanding pastoral care, King’s is now seen as a dynamic,
forward-thinking and impressive place to study and to work.

Main Purpose

• Job title:Head of Politics
• Job Type:Full Time, permanent
• Salary:£38,663-£65,199 per annum and a generous remuneration for the Head of Politics role
• Department:Department of Politics
• Reporting to:Assistant Head (Director of Studies)
• Location:Highgate, North London
• Start:September 2026
• Closing Date:4 February 2026 at 8:00 am

Highgate is looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring Head of Politics, starting in September 2026. The position would suit an experienced teacher.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Politics, or a related degree such as PPE, International Relations, etc. from a university with an excellent reputation for Politics. Applicants should be experienced Sixth Form teachers who demonstrate a profound and continuing academic interest in their subject and an enthusiasm for sharing this passion with pupils and colleagues. The successful candidate will have excellent managerial instincts, a commitment to professional development, an enthusiasm for learning, and the ability to reflect deeply on their practice.

The successful applicant will lead an experienced department of five teachers who regularly teach up to 100 pupils across the Sixth Form, making Politics one of the most popular subjects at A Level. The pupils currently follow the Edexcel specification, which covers UK Politics, Political ideologies, and US Politics. Outcomes in A-Level Politics are excellent, and well above national averages: in 2025, our Politics cohort of 28 achieved 57% A*/A. A majority of these pupils applied for Politics or a Politics related degree at university. Pupils regularly take up places at Oxford and Cambridge, as well as at overseas universities.

The Politics department runs a weekly programme of extension classes to Year 12 pupils (often collaborating with other Sixth Form departments) in the Lent term, introducing pupils to topics outside the scope of the A-level curriculum. This programme continues in Year 13 as a more bespoke mentoring programme for all Sixth Formers who intend to pursue Politics, or a related discipline, at university.

Colleagues in the department also have a significant co-curricular footprint, including the popular current affairs focused Masaryk Society (which attracts over 30 pupils from all years every week), the Lower School Politics Society, the annual pupil-led publication The Arbiter and running mock elections. New for 2026, colleagues in the Politics department will teach all Year 10 pupils an in-house 24-lesson course on Political Literacy.

The department is well equipped and resourced, with its own classrooms and dedicated office, which is shared with colleagues in the Economics and History of Art departments. Colleagues in this office are highly collaborative. All classrooms have large digital screens which connect wirelessly to teachers’ MS Surface devices. Members of the Politics Department can and do teach History or Economics, though the ability to teach another subject is neither a requirement, nor a recommendation, for this post.
