We are looking to extend our team of examination invigilators and this is an ideal opportunity for anyone who is seeking flexible working hours and is available to start January 2025.
The main examination season is May to July, however there will also be mock examinations held in January and there may be work at other times throughout the year. Therefore, these positions are seasonal with no guaranteed hours, which means working on a casual, zero-hours contract and being paid hourly for those times worked.
Duties include preparing rooms, distribution of scripts and supervision of students whilst adhering to formal examination conditions in a calm and confident manner. The ideal candidates will need to be well organised, with excellent communication skills and be able to work well as part of a team.
We are ideally looking for experienced candidates although full training will be provided for this role. We are keen to appoint as soon as possible and are particularly looking for anyone who may be interested and available for the forthcoming examination season.
We offer:- a supportive community and governing board
- a talented staff team who welcome new challenges and are committed to supporting and developing colleagues
- enthusiastic students who are keen to learn
- quality continuous professional development
- opportunities to work in collaboration with partner schools, where available
Holte School is an oversubscribed, diverse, multi-racial, 11-18 community school and are one of only 8 schools across the country to be recognised as a ‘National IQM Inclusion Champion’ school. The school is on a shared site with both a primary and a special school, with plans to develop our sixth form facilities. The school's ethos emphasises high quality teaching to achieve excellence and enable our students to maximise their potential. We have the highest expectations around behaviour and standards, and this is achieved through working alongside passionate and dedicated colleagues who share this vision.
Our young people are proud of the school and their community, and have high aspirations that we see reflected in their conduct and engagement. We also actively promote staff wellbeing, supporting colleagues in what is a challenging yet rewarding profession. We are awaiting the publication of our recent Ofsted Inspection, which we believe recognises the many strengths of our school.
This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent spoken English is an essential requirement for the role. -
