Role

Primary Duty: The Maths Invigilator and Exams Admin Assistant will be responsible for invigilating examinations primarily within the Maths Institute but may also be required to invigilate in the main exam halls. Invigilation will be carried out in line with the invigilator’s handbook and relevant university and departmental policies.

Secondary Duty: Maths Invigilators may also be required to assist the Taught Programmes Office with exam script administration duties, including preparing exam scripts for marking and carrying out accuracy checks after scripts have been marked, and tracking student attendance.

Please note that current Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught students are unfortunately not eligible for this post. First year PhD students undertaking taught modules will not be allowed to invigilate exams for modules they have taken.
