Description

The Portsmouth Grammar School is a leading co-educational school located in the historic heart of Portsmouth.

We are seeking to appoint to our established team of regular part-time Invigilators at The Portsmouth Grammar School.

Our regular invigilators support examinations at key times throughout the year which are typically as follows;

May and June for external exams at GCSE and A Level
October and November external exam resits and external university entrance exams
January internal mock exams
At other times during the academic year as required by the Head of Examinations

Invigilator hours will be determined by the school's Head of Examinations.

The school makes no specific guarantee of any work throughout the year and invigilator requirements for the summer term external exam schedule will not be known until after Easter each year.

For the summer exams Invigilators should be available for at least 3 days each week during May and June 2023.

This will need to be confirmed in advance of the exam period through the completion of an availability schedule.

We can offer a small amount of flexibility for holiday or family commitments for a block of time during the exam period.

It is a requirement of employment that invigilators must be available for an annual meeting and training session before the start of the summer term exams.

In 2023, the meeting will take place on 29th March 2023. At this meeting there will be safeguarding training, word processing training and invigilation training. Invigilators may also be asked to attend additional invigilator meetings or training throughout the year. This could also involve online training.

Examinations in the summer term 2023 will take place from 2nd May 2023 to 28th June 2023 and the length of sessions can vary.

The busiest period will be from 15th May to 23rd June. For invigilators, morning sessions start at 8.30 am and can finish anytime between 11 am and 1 pm. Afternoon sessions start at 1.30 pm and can finish anytime between 3.30 pm and 6.30 pm. There are no examinations during the summer Half Term.

Following the summer term exam session we hope that you will wish to join our team of regular invigilators and work on an ad hoc basis throughout the year as required by the Head of Examinations.

These additional invigilation sessions will be offered throughout the year but there will be no expectation that you must undertake them.

This would be only on a basis that you are willing and free to attend. It is essential that our regular invigilators are registered with the DBS update service.

Invigilators are required to support the following activities:

To assist in splitting and distributing papers for satellite rooms 30 minutes before the start of each exam if required
To carry out the 'second pair of eyes' check
To help provide the correct information and material for successful completion of the exam
To help ensure that the conduct of the exam takes place within the guidelines set down by JCQ and the Exam Boards
To ensure the safe guarding of pupils and attend training as instructed by the Senior Deputy Head
To refer to the Head of Examinations if malpractice is suspected

How to apply:

Interviews will be scheduled to take place on the school site on Monday 6th February and Wednesday 8th February 2023.
