Part-Time, Term Time Only Casual Contract
Salary: £13.99 gross pay per hour
Whitgift is a leading independent day and boarding school for boys, with approximately 1500 pupils including over one hundred boarding pupils and flexi-boarding pupils. It is set in an attractive 48-acre parkland site in South Croydon enjoying excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.
We are seeking to appoint flexible, vigilant and meticulous Examinations Invigilators who will report to the Examinations Manager and work as part of team of invigilators, made up of both external invigilators and Whitgift teaching staff.
Work opportunities will vary according to need during Public Examinations (normally mid-April – end June) and internal examinations (usually January, February and November). There may also be ad hoc opportunities for work throughout the academic year. We would expect invigilators to be able to work between the hours of 8.30am and 5pm. Training will be provided at Whitgift before invigilation work can be undertaken.
We welcome applications from all sectors of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.
Applications will be reviewed daily, and interviews may occur at any stage after applications are received so we invite interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.
Safeguarding Statement:
Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Where applicable, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service and online media check. It is an offence to apply for a role at the school if you know that you are barred from regulated activity with children.
All roles within the school involve contact with children and are therefore classed as regulated activity. Child protection and safeguarding are the responsibility of everyone who works or volunteers in our school. All staff must be committed to providing a safe environment for children and supporting the school’s safeguarding ethos.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are required to declare all convictions and cautions, even those that are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules, to assess suitability to work with children. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to disclose information relevant to safeguarding prior to interview.
