Exam Invigilators

Required as soon as possible, organised, calm, enthusiastic people, with an interest in working with and supporting young people, are required to join our friendly team of Exam Invigilators. This is a term time only, casual post and would be the perfect role for someone who is recently retired or has suitable available flexible time. Ideally you would be able to commit to at least three days per week during exam periods.

Having achieved the best results in the school's history in summer 2023, followed by a visit from Ofsted in May 2024, where we were judged as a strong 'Good' in all areas, Buckler's Mead Academy is going from strength to strength.

Public exams start in mid-May and continue until the end of June, with internal exams taking place in November and February/March each year.

Duties include preparing the exam room, distributing exam papers, ensuring that candidates are seated according to the seating plan and supervising the exam. In addition, invigilators may also be asked to act as a reader or a scribe for students with an exam access arrangement.

We are looking for someone with good communication skills who can work confidently and efficiently to support the Exams Officer and our students at these busy times. Experience is not required as full training will be provided.

In return, we can offer the full support of a dedicated and committed team of staff, a supportive induction programme and ongoing professional development, plus the opportunity to work in a developing academy in a beautiful area of the South West. Staff benefits include free on-site parking, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and access for all staff to the Employee Assistance Programme "Health Assured" which is a telephone based advice, information and counselling service. A selection of meals, snacks (hot and cold) and drinks is available for staff to purchase from the refectory.

We seek to significantly invest in developing all of our staff. This has been strengthened by our work with Trust partners and the successful candidate will benefit from trust wide opportunities, CPD and working with colleagues across trust schools. Our vision as an academy is "An Inspiring Education For All". We believe that all members of our community should be given the opportunity to be happy, to achieve, participate and become successful. Our job as professionals is to ensure this happens. All our staff sign up to these aspirations and play a full role in contributing to this vision through inclusive teaching and support. We seek to recruit dedicated and talented staff, highly committed to making a difference.

The academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to references and a full Disclosure and Barring Service check. Please note that in line with 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' requirements we carry out social media checks on all shortlisted candidates.

Buckler's Mead Academy is an equal opportunities employer. The campus is a no smoking site.
