About this Role

Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy (OSSMA) is a non-denominational, non-selective school, welcoming students of all backgrounds from the local community. Our mission is to equip every student with the knowledge, learning power and character necessary for success both at the next stage of their education and beyond


We are currently seeking to appoint a bank of exam invigilators to join our team at the academy.


The successful candidates will preferably have an educational background or an interest in education (desirable but not necessary). You will be able to relate positively to all learners, have good timekeeping skills, be extremely diligent, adaptable and have good written and verbal communication skills as well as being comfortable addressing large groups of pupils.


Flexibility during the exam season would be desirable. The position is on a casual basis during exam seasons only, and you would be required for sessions in the morning and afternoon, lasting between one to three hours.


This role is for internal and external exams and involves supervising students for written, oral and practical examinations, issuing and retrieving exam papers as well as working as part of a team under the guidance of the Exams Officer. No experience is necessary as full training will be given.


Our new colleague will also benefit from being part of Ormiston Academies Trust. There's nothing more important than educating the next generation, and our teams across Ormiston are continuing to undertake excellent work to make sure that the opportunities we provide have the greatest impact for every child and young person. If you join us at Ormiston, whatever your role, you can be sure of a role with purpose and meaning.


Ormiston Academies Trust is an ethical sponsor, committed to improving the life chances of young people. We share their vision for all young people to have the highest academic, social and practical skills to allow them to lead a fulfilling life.


This is an exceptional opportunity to make a difference to the future of education with an academy that is ever improving and striving to be outstanding. If you share the academy's vision and ambitions, possess a strong desire to work within an ethos of creative collaboration and partnership and want to have a positive impact on young people, families and our community, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more

Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest to change the lives and build the futures of children and young people.
