Our students are amazing. They are clever, kind and a joy to work with. They inspire, challenge and drive us as professionals to deliver the highest standards of education and care; to fill their school life with academic rigour, compassion and laughter. School is a busy and varied place of work, but as a team, we work together to reach out, find solutions and truly make a difference in the lives of young people.

We are seeking exceptional individuals to join our team on a casual contract as an Exam Invigilator, taking on this highly rewarding and valued role within our school community. The successful candidate will be able to support our values and interact with both colleagues and our students in a calm and respectful manner. Our Exam Invigilators play a key role in ensuring that our exams run smoothly and are compliant with examination regulations. The successful candidates will have a good range of availability to work during school hours during key examination periods (subject to advance notice of dates).

You do not need to have worked as an Exam Invigilator before, although of course we also welcome applications from experienced professionals seeking a new career challenge.

Training will be given to all new invigilators. All invigilators will be required to attend our Annual Invigilator Update Training Session on 23rd March 2027. The session will involve the dissemination of procedures for running examinations successfully to ensure all invigilators are fully up to date with the expectations and requirements of the role.

Working pattern and key dates for 2026-2027

Invigilation work is concentrated around the school’s main examination periods, rather than taking place regularly throughout the year. The number and timing of sessions offered will depend on examination requirements and individual availability. We are looking for invigilators who can offer availability during the following periods:

• National GCSE and A Level examinations: 10 May-22 June 2027
