Bank of Exam Invigilators

We are looking to recruit a number of exam invigilators to join our friendly and well-established bank of staff. The role involves assisting in the supervision and administration of external examinations and acting alongside, or instead of, permanent staff of the College. You will also ensure that the security and integrity of the examination is maintained in accordance with the regulations of the examining body and of the College. We have set up a 'panel' of reliable persons whom we ask to invigilate on specific days or sessions, possibly at fairly short notice. In view of the increase in examinations this year, we are enlarging this panel. An academic background is not necessary, the most important qualities required being honesty, integrity and common sense. Assistance and guidance will be given. Invigilators will be responsible to the Lead Examinations Officer. If successful, you would play a vital role in the College, which is graded as 'outstanding' in all categories by Ofsted. Our College excels in providing a broad, inclusive and high-quality education to all of our learners, which has resulted in some of the highest levels of progression to Higher Education in the sector. In 2023, students at Joseph Chamberlain College achieved outstanding exam results. Our College is situated within easy reach of Birmingham City Centre, in a state-of-the-art building with superbly equipped classrooms and outstanding facilities. We were featured in the 2019 Parliamentary Review for best practice in further education for the second time and we have been awarded the Teachers' Development Trust (TDT) Silver Award for our comprehensive package of innovative and high impact professional development. If you are aspirational for all young people and want to play a part in shaping their futures, we would really like to hear from you.

Working for Birmingham City Council is more than just a job; it's about making life better for the 1 million plus people who live and work in the city., The Council is a fantastic place to work. You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence. There is a clear vision which is ensuring that the Council is working for communities today and building for tomorrow, we focus our resources on five key priorities:

• A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
• An Inclusive Birmingham: through a focus on tackling poverty and inequality, empowering citizens, promoting diversity and civic pride, and supporting and enabling all children and young people to thrive.
• A Safe Birmingham: through a focus on making the city safer, safeguarding vulnerable citizens, increasing affordable housing, and tackling homelessness.
• A Healthy Birmingham: through a focus on tackling health inequalities, encouraging physical activity and healthy living, supporting mental health, and improving outcomes for adults with disabilities and older people.
• A Green Birmingham: through a focus on street cleanliness, improving air quality, continuing the route to net zero, and becoming a city of nature.
We see the Council's role as providing strategic leadership - that's being able to visualise a new future for the city and equipping others to share our vision. We want to ensure the provision of services for all, so we can support those least able to support themselves by working with partners and putting citizens and neighbourhoods at the heart of our decision-making. We are always looking for people who put the customer at the centre of their approach, with a commitment to excellence to help us achieve our vision. We will support you to develop and thrive in your role, building a pathway for long-term success, with lots of development opportunities, such as apprenticeships.
