The number of Invigilators required each day will vary depending on the number of students sitting each mock/exam and whether there are multiple venues or subjects taking place at the same time. You will however be required for whole days on a number of occasions.

Duties will include:

Our Invigilators sometimes have to deal with a student who has become stressed or a student exhibiting challenging behaviour. You must therefore be vigilant and proactive, have a calm, confident and patient manner and be able to take control if the need arises.
