This role could be filled by either a PGR student or non-student. The position is not open to current Lancaster Undergraduate (UG) or Postgraduate Taught (PGT) students.
The Student Programme Administration Exams Team are currently recruiting a pool of Senior Invigilators to join our bank of staff supporting the administration of examinations for the 2026 assessment period.
This is an important position, and Senior Invigilators will be expected to quickly develop a comprehensive understanding of Lancaster University’s examination guidelines and procedures. Supported by a team of Assistant Invigilators, you will help to deliver a professional and consistent service that provides the right examination environment for our students.
In addition to our main venues, we also seek invigilators to work with students with adapted exam requirements – this will primarily involve invigilating individual students on a one-to-one basis or invigilating a small group of students who require access to a computer. Please indicate on your application whether you would also like to be considered for either main venue invigilation, adapted arrangement invigilation, or both.
The work will be varied with hours split into two daily sessions (Monday to Saturday, though Saturdays will be kept to a minimum).
Examinations take place across Lancaster’s Bailrigg campus, and you may be required to travel quickly between venues to ensure that examination schedules are adhered to.
Full and part-time applicants welcome.
Previous experience within an educational establishment or as an Invigilator is desirable.
