My tip? Wear comfortable shoes that don't squeak! You'll be on your feet a long time! And don't worry, it's just common sense really. My first few minutes are usually spent stopping desks wobbling with bits of paper stuffed under the legs, and removing labels from water bottles if they've forgotten! :rolleyes: Then it's wandering around and keeping an eye on things. Don't worry, you'll soon get the hang of it, and there's bound to be experienced people with you."A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it." :wall:

Comfortable, quiet shoes a must - now just need a few carpenters to fix the school floors:rotfl:0

Yes its all common sense really. The kids usually put up their hands if they need a ruler, pencil or calculator which are all provided by the school as spares. Sometimes a pupil may need to go to the toilet, in which case they will have to be escorted. I found the listening music exam was more interesting the other day, at least you could enjoy the music being played on the cd! The time does go slowly but just think of the money!!0

Just a word if you are thinking of contacting a school - I worked for one summer in one of my local schools and hated it because the chidren were so badly behaved, rude and undisciplined. I decided to give it up - the wages were not worth the stress.
I now work in a different school, this is an all girls school and the majority of the girls are well behaved- there are always some who aren't!.
On the whole it is fine but can be boring.
Basically what I am saying is choose your school carefully!0 -
well the exams are over and the pennies are flowing....
It was interesting, boring, fun and frustrating... but it was worth it!! I'll be paid well over £250+ over the next two months after tax:T
I'm certainly up for it again, bring 'em on.0 -
Just a quickie to remind people that exam season has started again and will get into overdrive in January.
This is the perfect job if you need school hours only, and flexibilty.
Of course last weeks physics paper was interesting :eek:
It's not for everyone but worth considering.

Yes contact direct. Quite often the schools contact the supply teaching agencies (Capita etc) so it is worth a phone call to them as well.

Goodness, I was obviously at the wrong university then!Piggles12345 wrote: »College and schools would probably be the best bet.
Universities (particularly research-focused ones) usually employ PhD students to invigilate exams and they offer PhD students around £30-£40 per hour for doing so, hence PhD students rarely pass up the opportunity and so universities rarely need external invilators!!
I did this but only got paid £10 an hour. Where do they offer £30-£40 per hour, please?0 -
I've seen it advertised in the local jobs paper, but they wanted qualified/ex teachers.A waist is a terrible thing to mind.0
