Relevant Experience, • Experience of teaching and / or working in a school classroom., • Confident using IT applications, particularly for onscreen assessment., • Experience of invigilating tests / examinations. Competencies Required, • Ability to adhere to specified procedural standards., • Confident troubleshooting common technology user issues., • Excellent verbal communication skills., • Good organisation and administrative skills., • Ability to identify, communicate and escalate issues promptly and effectively., • Ability to work to agreed timeframes.

Desirable Requirements Occasionally overnight stays may be necessary to be at the school by 08.00. Test Administrators should indicate on their Expression of Interest confirmation form if they are able to do overnight stays (with expenses paid).

If you have 'classroom-based experience', within the Occupation Experience section of the application form, please ensure to: select 'Yes' when asked, 'Do you have vocational or industrial/occupational experience in the sector(s) for which you are applying?' select 'Work based Experience - Classroom based experience' from the drop-down list.
