End times of exams are approximate & shifts may be slightly shorter or longer depending on the exam(s) you are assigned to invigilate that day. 

 

There will be further invigilation shifts available in June, the dates/ times for these are yet to be confirmed. 


Attendance is imperative, as without enough invigilators, exams will have to be cancelled.  Please only apply if you are certain you will be available for the full shift.

 

Invigilators will need to ensure:

- examinations are conducted according to the JCQ regulations

- the wellbeing of the students in the examination room  

- the safe and secure delivery of the exams

This work will involve:

  • The general supervision of candidates to ensure no malpractice during the examination period
  • Handing out extra answer booklets
  • Ensuring mobile phones, iPods, earphones etc. are handed in before the start of the examination
  • Any other duties that may be required by the Senior Exams Invigilator during the period of the exam being supervised.

For some shifts, we may require invigilators to complete Reading and Scribing for pupils requiring access arrangements. A good standard of English, clear speaking voice, and neat handwriting is required as you will need to read questions out loud to candidates and then write out their answers. You should be happy to provide one‑to‑one support to the candidate. Please state in your application whether you would be happy to be assigned shifts as a Reader/Scribe.
