Casual basis - no fixed hours
Cotham School, a successful, vibrant and diverse 11-18 comprehensive school, wishes to appoint a number of exam invigilators to join our friendly and well-established team, overseeing examinations throughout the year.
This role will allow you to work flexibly on a casual basis supporting Cotham School to ensure all exams are conducted in accordance with exam guidelines. There are no fixed or regular hours of work.
Invigilators will be required for the main summer exam period, which this year runs from mid May to the end of June. However, we also require invigilators from the end of January to February half term for mock exams, there may be a few shifts available at other points of the year depending on exam schedule. The role involves setting up examination rooms by laying out the correct materials and papers, ensuring correct exam procedures are followed, distribution and collection of examination papers and monitoring students during the examination periods.
Morning exam sessions usually start at 8am (for an exam start of 8.45am) and afternoon sessions at 1pm (for an exam start at 1.45pm). The length of exam papers varies and sessions last on average between 2-4 hours.
All invigilators must complete statutory online safeguarding training and an online invigilation training module which takes approximately 4 hours before their first invigilation.
We also need people who are willing to be trained as one to one readers and/or scribes for our access arrangement students.
As a diverse school community, we particularly welcome applicants from underrepresented groups with regards to ethnicity, gender, age and disability.
