How to apply to work as an exam invigilator at Newcastle University.
Exams at Newcastle University
Each year, the Exams and Awards team schedules and manages over 2,500 different exams equating to over 100,000 individual exam sittings. On a typical day during the main exam periods, exams are run simultaneously across more than 40 different exam venues. These range from small venues for individual candidates to venues accommodating up to 350 candidates. Exams are held at venues based on campus as well as some located externally within the city. Some exams will also be run concurrently at the University’s external campuses in Singapore, Malaysia and London.
Importance of Invigilation
Exam invigilators play an integral role in helping us to ensure that:
the security of exams is maintained
exams are conducted in a fair and appropriate manner
all students are able to sit exams in a suitable environment
rules and procedures are applied consistently across all venues
While we welcome applications from current Postgraduate Research students, students of Undergraduate or Postgraduate Taught programmes cannot apply.
New invigilators must meet with the Exams team and attend a training session before they start. All invigilators are expected to be available for 50% of each exam period.
The rate of pay starts at £9.28 per hour (Assistant Invigilator).
