Exam Invigilators Needed for the Secondary Mock Exam Season from October 2025!
Location: Birmingham (all areas)
Casual shifts hours available, both full and half days shifts
TeacherActive are looking for Exam Invigilators to join our friendly team in the running the internal school examinations at a mainstream secondary school in the Birmingham area.
This is a casual contract, picking up as many or as little shifts are desired which can be negotiated for each exam period. Once we receive exam timetables in Decembner time from the school, you will be able to pick selected hours to suit your availability.
Examples of hours typically on offer are as follows -
AM - 08:00- 12:00
Mid morning - 11:00- 13.30
PM - 12:00 - 15.30
The post would be ideally suited to applicants who are highly organised, reliable and happy to work flexible hours. In addition, you should be able to remain calm under pressure and be flexible to be called in at short notice.
We are looking for reliable and confident candidates to join the invigilator team. Successful applicants will be able to:
Understand and apply detailed written instructions, while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
Use initiative in response to unexpected situations.
Be punctual as it is imperative the exams start as scheduled.
Prepare the exam room, following instructions from the Lead Invigilator & Examinations Officer.
Support students as required during examinations.
Distribute and collect examination papers and equipment.
Observe students during examinations to ensure correct behaviour.
With the nature of exam invigilating being seasonal a lot of people pick up this role in and around other commitments they have. Full training will be provided so previous experience is not necessary but we will need x2 UK based references as a minimum.
We will need to ensure that every candidate has an enhanced DBS certificate and x2 references obtained before the end of April, therefore please apply with plenty of time for us to obtain these so you are not held up form starting. Shifts are given out on a first come first served basis.

Registration involves an enhanced DBS check, ID checks and will require you to supply good professional references. We pride ourselves on excellent service. We can provide a wide range of opportunities in schools and other educational institutions, with good rates of pay, at times to suit your needs.
Regular external audits have shown repeatedly that our standards are exceptional. We are passionate about finding the right staff for each environment.
