Woolmer Hill School is a smaller than average secondary school in wonderful grounds, situated 3 minutes drive off the main A3 in Haslemere. We have fantastic students and staff and Woolmer Hill School is a vibrant, supportive and rewarding place to work. We are a good school (Ofsted January 2018) and our staff and students are “proud to belong…proud to achieve”.
We are looking for Examination Invigilators to support our students taking their examinations on a part-time sessional basis. This includes internal examinations and also external GCSE examinations. These are normally scheduled to take place in November, December, February and March with the main run being from April until June.
The right candidate will be able to understand and apply detailed written instructions, maintain high degrees of confidentiality and use their own initiative to respond to unexpected situations. Working with young people at a sometimes stressful time in their lives requires a degree of empathy and calm but also confidence and authority.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are looking for individuals who can commit to potentially working full days, 8am until 4pm, several weeks at a time but then having gaps when exams are not in session. Days and times do vary depending on need. You will normally receive around a months’ notice of when you are required to work, but may also be called in last minute if a colleague cannot make it.
Previous experience as an examination invigilator would be an advantage, but not essential since we will provide full training on JCQ regulations and the school’s examination policy and procedures.
