Exam Invigilators

Equitas Academies Trust was formed in September 2012 and incorporates Aston Manor Academy (Secondary) and Chilwell Croft Academy (Primary). Both Academies are happy, exciting and inspiring learning environments for their children who are from a vibrant mix of cultures. The staff and Trustees have a great sense of pride in their schools and care passionately about the pupils they serve. We are consistently in the top 15% of schools nationally for achievement.

Aston Manor Academy serves a culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged catchment area yet year on year produces excellent results for its very deserving students. We firmly believe that one of the key hallmarks of Aston Manor Academy is the positive, friendly, and supportive ethos that enables all of our students to make progress, both academically and in their personal development. Aston Manor Academy underwent an ungraded Ofsted Inspection in May 2025 which confirmed that the school has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection which were outstanding. In addition, our Sixth Form is rated as one of the best for progress in Birmingham!

We are seeking to increase our existing pool of staff to assist with examination supervision throughout our busy exam periods. The role is ideally suited to applicants who feel a sense of responsibility for today's young people and are highly organised, vigilant and reliable, have excellent attention to detail and have the ability to remain calm under pressure.

Hours worked would be on a demand basis. Duties would include preparation of exam rooms including computer rooms, distribution of scripts and supervision of students during examinations. We particularly need staff who are willing to act as a reader or scribe for students who have additional examination access arrangements. Training will be given to the successful applicants, however an approachable personality, the ability to be flexible and work as part of a team would be welcomed.

This work may appeal to professional people who have retired, university students who have recently experienced exam situations themselves and those who have experience of working with secondary age children, although the role is not exclusive to these groups.

As an employer, Equitas Academies Trust offers:

A supportive and nurturing working environment

A commitment to CPD opportunities

A healthy work life balance

Employee wellbeing benefits including access to a technology scheme, Voluntary Health Care Cash Plan, BHSF Connect service and a cycle to work scheme

Employer contributions to Local Government Pensions Scheme or Teacher Pensions Scheme

An inclusive and caring ethos

We pride ourselves on hosting an environment focused on improving the lives of our students, as well as supporting the fantastic team who dedicate themselves to teach every single day. This is an opportunity to really make a difference and enjoy a varied, challenging and ultimately rewarding role.
