Key Responsibilities
- To supervise examinations in strict accordance with the awarding body's regulations and the centre's own instructions, ensuring a controlled and quiet environment conducive to fair testing.
- To prepare examination rooms before candidates arrive, including setting out stationery, seating plans, and examination materials as directed by the Senior Invigilator or Exams Officer.
- To admit candidates to the examination room, verify identification where required, and give clear, confident instructions at the start, during, and at the end of the exam.
- To actively monitor candidates throughout the examination to prevent and detect any instances of malpractice, responding to queries within the permitted guidelines.

- Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to follow complex procedures accurately under pressure during critical exam periods.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to manage groups of candidates calmly and authoritatively, including in potentially stressful situations.
- Integrity and discretion of the highest order, as you will be handling sensitive materials. A flexible approach to work, as hours are often concentrated around peak exam times (January, May/June, November).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience to be an Exam Invigilator?
While previous invigilation experience is highly valued and may command a higher pay rate, it is not always essential. We provide full training on examination board regulations. More important are your personal attributes: reliability, attention to detail, integrity, and the ability to follow instructions and manage a room confidently. Experience in other supervisory, customer service, or education-related roles is a strong advantage.
How flexible are the working hours for an Exam Invigilator?
The role is inherently flexible and predominantly tied to exam schedules. Work is concentrated during peak periods (January, May/June, November), with exams typically held on weekday mornings and afternoons. Some evening and weekend sessions may also be available. We work with you to understand your availability and assign shifts accordingly. It's an ideal role for those seeking part-time, temporary, or term-time-only work.
What is the typical duration of an Exam Invigilator assignment?
Assignments are generally temporary, lasting for the duration of an exam period, which could be a few days, a week, or several weeks. However, many of our invigilators return for each exam cycle, building a long-term relationship with both HireNow and the client institutions. For those seeking longer-term opportunities, we also specialise in temp-to-perm placements across various sectors; explore our Looking For Staff page to see how we help employers find permanent talent.
What kind of training will I receive?
All successful candidates receive comprehensive training specific to the examination boards and venues they will be working with. This covers crucial areas such as exam security procedures, handling of confidential materials, candidate identification checks, dealing with queries, reporting malpractice, and emergency evacuation protocols. Training is both practical and procedural, ensuring you feel confident and fully prepared.
Can I apply if I live outside West End London W1?
Absolutely. While this specific vacancy is focused on West End London W1, we recruit for invigilator and other support roles across many London boroughs. As long as you can reliably commute to the specified locations, we welcome your application.

How quickly can I start working after applying?
HireNow prides itself on a swift registration process. For urgent requirements, we aim to complete registration, vetting, and basic training within a few days. The"ASAP Start" status of this role means suitable candidates could be working within the same week of application, depending on the immediacy of client needs and the completion of necessary checks.
