EXAM INVIGILATORS X 2
Ackworth School was founded in 1779 by John Fothergill on behalf
of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and the School
Committee (or Board of Governors) is still accountable to this
body. We are a co-educational day and boarding school for children
from 3 to 18 years and the oldest co-educational boarding school in
the UK.
We are looking to appoint two exam invigilators to support in
both internal and external exams. No previous experience is
necessary as full training will be given, however, it is important
that candidates have an eye for detail and can follow
instructions.
The roles are offered on a casual zero hours basis. As the role
is for both internal and external exams, there is the opportunity
for work during January and then May and June as well as other
ad-hoc sessions.
The purpose of exam invigilation is to ensure that all
candidates are under active surveillance for every moment of the
duration of the examination. Invigilators should also try to
provide a suitably pleasant and supportive atmosphere for
candidates. However, they must also ensure and prevent any kind of
communication between candidates (by copying, whispering or any
kind of signal, exchange of paper or objects) and any kind of
access to books, papers or electronic media of any kind (unless
specifically authorised) for the exam duration.
Invigilators also need to ensure the security of the examination
hall before, during and after the examination. From the moment the
question papers are given out until all answers are collected, exam
invigilators should patrol vigilantly. Particular emphasis should
be given to multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The main
goal should be to prevent possible candidate malpractice and
administrative failures.
Candidates must apply on a school application form that can be
downloaded on the School's website together with a cover letter of
no more than one side of A4.
