Job Description

EXAMINATION INVIGILATOR VACANCIES

Grade 2 SCP2 12.65 per hour

Bridgewater is looking to recruit a number of people to join its existing bank of invigilators.

We are looking to recruit flexible, reliable, responsible people who will enjoy working within the school environment and who can contribute to the importance of maintaining the integrity of the examination system.

Invigilation work is part time and seasonal, based around the Awarding Bodies and school's exam timetable, with the hours offered on a casual basis. The heaviest demand for invigilation is May and June, therefore availability during this busy period is essential.

A small number of exams will be invigilated at a student's home address (subject to a risk assessment) and applicants must be prepared to undertake this.

We also require invigilators for our mock exam season which typically are the months of November and December, two weeks in March and also follow on from the summer external exams.Due to the Awarding Bodies common timetable, if you are already employed as an invigilator in an education setting, it is not compatible to undertake the same role at two places of employment as the dates of requirement will most likely be the same.

A compulsory training session will be provided to successful candidates.

Daily Arrangements

Whilst these will vary according to the examination timetable and school needs, the usual pattern involves:

Morning Exams

Invigilators arrive by 8:30am and prepare for 9.00am exam start. The duration of the morning session is between one and three hours, though occasionally may be longer.

Afternoon Exams

Invigilators usually arrive between 12:30pm and 1pm depending on the exam start time. Again, the duration of the session is usually between one and three hours, though occasionally may be longer.

PLEASE NOTE:

Hours of work will vary; some weeks may involve only a few hours whereas other times you may be needed more. This is because for some sessions we may only need a single/small number of invigilators whilst for others we may need as many as seventeen or eighteen invigilators.

Bridgewater High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share in this commitment. This post will therefore be subject to enhanced DBS clearance.

Applications should be made on the support staff application form which can be downloaded from our website https://bridgewaterhigh.org/job-vacancies/ and emailed to Ms J McInnes at j.mcinnes@bridgewaterhigh.com

Closing Date for Applications is Friday, 9th January 2026 at 12 noon.
