Exam Invigilator

We are looking for casual Exam Invigilators to join our team to cover the exam periods throughout the academic year. You will assist with the efficient administration and invigilation of internal and external practical, onscreen and written examinations for our students. The post would suit someone local who is looking for casual hours during the exam periods – no experience is needed as training will be given but a willingness to support our young people during times of exam stress is a must.

The post is offered on a casual basis. Examinations do not take place on every day of the examination period and therefore, working hours will vary according to the length of the examination, and the number of invigilators required. You will be playing a vital role in supporting the academy by providing important support to our students.

We value staff and students and have created a positive, forward thinking environment in which everyone can thrive. Our ambition is to be the best school in Ipswich and we invite you to join us on our journey to excellence.
