    Trent is a successful selective day and boarding school where academic excellence, sporting achievement, musical accomplishment and participation in the arts are all highly prized.

    We require External Invigilators to work on a seasonal basis during the school exam periods, January, May and June each year. Reporting to the Examinations Officer, the post holders will work to ensure that examinations are conducted in accordance with relevant policy from the awarding body (Joint Council for Qualifications) and internal school procedure.

    Duties will include distributing exam question papers, completing attendance registers and collecting completed scripts. You will also be expected to ensure disruption within the exam room is kept to a minimum, dealing with any emergencies or irregularities appropriately.
