Exam Invigilator

You will undertake the active invigilation role for examinations across the four Faculties at Birmingham City University and ensure that examinations are conducted in accordance with all University regulations and protocols.

The three locations you will be covering are: City Centre Campus - made up of the Curzon Building, Millennium Point and Parkside Building. City South Campus - Seacole Building, Westbourne Road, Edgbaston and City North - Perry Barr.

Due to the nature of the role and duties, we cannot accept applications from current BCU students (except for PGR students).

Working hours and days: During examination periods you will need to be flexible in your availability every day from 8:30am to approx. 5.30pm. Examinations will normally take place Monday to Friday.

Please note that occasionally you may be scheduled to act as an invigilator for rooms with sole occupancy. Where this is the case, and the sole occupant does not attend the examination, we will endeavour assign you to support another exam session. If this is not possible, you will receive payment for the first hour. Please note that there are no additional expenses for travelling or parking.
