Buckler's Mead Academy wish to appoint people who can work confidently and efficiently as invigilators, readers and scribes to support the Exams Officer and our students at busy exam times. Full training will be provided for all roles and you can be assured of support to help you effectively meet the students’ needs.

This is a term time only, casual post and would be the perfect role for someone who is recently retired or has suitable available flexible time.

Mock exams take place in March 2023 and the main summer exam period starts in May 2023, continuing until the end of June. There are also a number of internal exams at other times during the year.

Duties include handing out and collecting exam papers, ensuring that candidates are seated according to the seating plan and overseeing the exam. Readers and Scribes support candidates by reading exam paper instructions and questions and scribing answers as required.

In return we can offer you the opportunity to work with motivated students, the full support of a dedicated and committed team of staff, a supportive induction programme and ongoing training, plus the chance to work in a developing academy in a beautiful area of the South West. Staff benefits include free on-site parking and a selection of meals, snacks (hot and cold) and drinks available for staff to purchase at lunch and break times.

Buckler’s Mead Academy is an inclusive academy in the east of Yeovil. Our vision as an academy is “an inspiring education for all”. We believe that all members of our community should be given the opportunity to be happy, to achieve, participate and become successful. Our job as professionals is to ensure this happens. All our staff sign up to these aspirations and play a full role in contributing to this vision through inclusive teaching and support. We seek to recruit dedicated and talented staff, highly committed to making a difference. We are part of the Midsomer Norton Schools’ Partnership – a highly successful Multi Academy Trust, often considered the ‘market leader’ in the South West for school improvement.

The academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to references and a full Disclosure and Barring Service check. Buckler’s Mead Academy is an equal opportunities employer. The campus is a no smoking site.

If you think this could be the role for you, we would love to hear from you. Applications should be sent for the attention of Mr Mark Lawrence, Headteacher, and include details of your current experience and suitability for the role.

CLOSING DATE: WEDNESDAY 12 APRIL 2023 (9.00am)
