The Hamble School is a happy, thriving and vibrant learning community for students aged 11-16. Our motto ‘Achieving Excellence Together’ encapsulates our ethos of high expectations and ambition for all. We work together in partnership with parents/ carers and the local community to ensure that students are supported to achieve their very best and leave The Hamble School as ‘lifelong learners’. Our intake numbers are increasing – we currently have 1163 students and are consistently oversubscribed. There is a clear plan to ensure continuous improvement in all aspects of school life and it is an exciting time to join us.

The Exams Department is an integral part of school life. Our aim is to ensure that all students are treated fairly within the examination environment and that the rules and regulations of the JCQ and Awarding Bodies are upheld. This is an exciting opportunity to assist with the Pre Public (Mock) Examinations and GCSE examinations at the school.

Invigilating is a vital role in supporting the Exams Officer to run busy exam periods in the school calendar. We are seeking individuals who can promote a supportive and calm atmosphere so that our students are able to fulfil or exceed their potential during the examination period. In addition to Exam Invigilator duties, you may also act as a reader or a scribe for students who require access arrangements to support them in their examinations. Therefore, applicants must be confident in their literacy skills.

We would like successful candidates to work at different times throughout the year to assist with internal examinations but particularly during the Pre Public exams (November, February / March each year) and the GCSE Summer Series external examinations (April to June each year). Availability during these time periods is essential.

This position is suitable for individuals from all backgrounds with a variety of skillsets, regardless of your stage of career. If you are looking for a flexible position that requires working only a few weeks a year then this is the role for you.

To apply please complete a support staff application form which can be located at the top of this page. Applications should be returned electronically to Jenni Fradgley, HR Officer, hr@thehambleschool.co.uk If you currently work in a school, please ensure one of your references is from your current Headteacher.

Please note that the school has limited staff on site over the summer holiday, so please do not be concerned if it takes time to acknowledge receipt of your application.  For the 2025/2026 academic year, we will not look to shortlist and invite to interview until September, ready for the exam season starting in November. Training will take place in October.

We look forward to receiving your application.
