Examination Invigilator

We need to add reliable staff to our pool of invigilators for University's examinations. This role is vital to ensuring smooth running examinations and enabling our students to perform their best in every examination.

We are specifically looking for those with experience in being a Chief Invigilator for a large exam room and/or Reader/Scribe Invigilators.

 Invigilators will undertake the following tasks:  

- Setting out the examination papers and supporting documents/materials in the examination room

- Assisting students entering the examination room

- Ensuring correct procedures and regulations are followed by students during the examination

- Collecting the examination papers and supporting documents/materials at the end of the examination.

There are four main examination sessions every year. However, you must be available for at least some of the dates of the May exam session. 

The majority of exams start at 10.00am and 14.00pm and last between one and three hours. You are able to nominate which exam dates and times you are available to work for, so it can fit in with other work or responsibilities you have. Exams take place from Monday to Saturday.

Invigilators are required to arrive 1 ½ hours before the exam and are likely to finish up to one hour after the exam ends. They are able to claim an hourly rate for the whole time they are working.

Invigilators must attend an invigilator training session before their first session.
