Exam Invigilator

Teaching Personnel are working in partnership with multiple schools in Newcastle, Northumberland and the surrounding area who are seeking extra Exam Invigilators to help them during their busy winter and summer exam periods.

This role is essential to the smooth running of the examination process. In addition to ensuring correct exam procedures are followed, the successful applicants will be responsible for the setting out and collecting of exam papers and materials, admitting students to the exam hall/room, invigilating during the exams and collating the exam papers to be sent off to the Exam boards.

This role presents itself as a great opportunity to gain invaluable experience in secondary schools.

Applications are welcomed from those who are:

• Invigilators with prior experience
• Retired or semi-retired looking for part-time seasonal work
