Exam Invigilator

Exam invigilators play a vital role in the education system by ensuring that examinations are conducted fairly and according to rules set by exam boards. Their responsibilities include preparing exam rooms, distributing papers, monitoring students during the exam, dealing with queries, and collecting completed scripts. Invigilators must be vigilant, impartial, and able to manage a quiet environment to prevent cheating and ensure students are not disturbed. Most positions are temporary and coincide with exam seasons, making it a popular job for those seeking flexible work, such as retirees, students, or those with other part-time jobs. Training is usually provided by the employing school or college.
