The position of an Invigilator at Northumbria is one of responsibility with high standards and professionalism expected at all times. Our invigilators are a very important part of the student experience and their journey through their study with us, and as such, will work with internal service and faculty staff to make sure that examinations are organised smoothly. By working together as a team, our goal is to ensure that all students have an excellent examination experience.
