Exams Invigilator

We are currently looking for Exam Invigilators to join our friendly and forward-thinking team at Greater Peterborough UTC (GPUTC). 

The role will involve:

• Supporting our school during exam periods, providing an efficient and reliable exam invigilation service for a variety of internal and external examinations throughout the academic year
• Ensuring the exam room is set out in accordance with Exam Board Regulations
• Completing seating plans and other examination related documentation
• Attending invigilator training events and meetings as required throughout the year

The ideal candidate:

• Good educational background with GCSE or equivalent in English Language
• Experience of supporting children in a classroom environment, including those with a range of learning needs or challenging behaviour
• Understanding of the education system and how children learn
• Ability to make positive relationships with children
• Positive and enthusiastic approach with the ability to work within a team as well as on own initiative
• Knowledge of the need for confidentiality and awareness of child protection issues
• Flexibility of working hours, committed and reliable with excellent timekeeping

In October of 2022 the GPUTC was graded as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted, these judgements are testament to the culture we have created here at the GPUTC, one in which our students are treated with respect and dignity, a culture that is creating the workforce of tomorrow, we are extremely proud of the outcomes and especially some of the feedback which included comments such as: 

• Students behave well and say they want to learn.
• Leaders are ambitious for all students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). 
• The curriculum is well designed, and the content progressively builds upon students’ prior learning. This allows students, including sixth-form students, to develop important knowledge and skills over time. 
• Teachers have expert knowledge. They use subject-specific language. Students confidently use this language when talking about their learning. 
• Students respond well to leaders’ clear expectations of behaviour. As soon as they join the school, students feel well supported and build strong relationships with other students. 
• Leaders provide opportunities for students, including those in the sixth form, to engage with employers, UTC sponsors and local universities. This gives them a solid foundation upon which to plan their next steps. 

What makes Greater Peterborough UTC, and the Trust as a whole, different is that we know how to nurture and bring out the very best in our talented staff, which is then reflected in our students. The Meridian Trust is a success story that continues to grow, and part of our success is down to our ability to Recruit, Develop and Retain the very best teachers. It is also driven by our ability to adapt to the changing educational landscape led by determined staff who bring our academies alive with their enthusiastic personalities, unshakeable work ethic and their commitment to delivering exceptional learning experiences for our students. 

In return, we can offer you:  

• Dedicated support at both academy and trust level  
• A philosophy of 100% achievement and inclusion 
• A purposeful and caring learning environment, where every individual is known, valued and supported  
• Motivated, engaged students and ambitious, invested and professional staff 
• A culture of promoting leadership, innovation and staff progression - we are committed to retaining excellent Exams Invigilators.

If you would like to join an Academy demonstrating a serious commitment to impact student progress and a love of education, we welcome your application.
