Examination Invigilator

To start: as soon as possible

We are looking to appoint three Exam Invigilators to join the team at Shebbear College.

As an Exam Invigilator you will assist the Examinations Officer in the efficient delivery of internal and external exams. You will ensure that the conduct of the examinations takes place in accordance with Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) regulations.

The successful candidates will work as part of a pool of invigilators and will need to be reliable, punctual, highly flexible and able to work with secure materials in a confidential setting. Full training will be given to those appointed.

You will be employed on a casual basis to supervise candidates taking exams, as necessary, throughout the school year, these usually fall within November, January, May and June – hours are variable depending upon the exam timetable.

The working hours for this role can vary as exam environments have to be set up before the beginning of the school day and on occasions can sometimes continue after the school day has finished. Candidates may need to be supervised between exams.

Shebbear College is a small independent day and boarding school of around 270 pupils, for boys and girls aged from 4 – 19. Set in 85-acres of countryside between Dartmoor and Exmoor, it is an idyllic location in which to work. Class sizes are smaller than average throughout the school and we pride ourselves on knowing every pupil as an individual, recognising their potential and helping them to achieve their best, whatever that may be. This is what makes us special and stands us apart from other schools.
