Do you mean the student that sits outside the exam centre and brings tea and biscuits to the supervisor?

They are usually appointed internally by the school. In the school I work in a notice is put up on the main notice board in April or May and students can apply to the principal for a position.

I don't think they're called invigilators? ... certainly that's not what they do!

Attendants, maybe?

RBT is right, ask your Principal / Deputy about it.

In my school, you'd get the job by hanging around the staff room with tea for jaded teachers, being a prefect and being bosom buddies with the principal. Good luck

It's usually the Examinations Secretary in a school who gives out those jobs.

i was an 'attendant' at the exams last year... when i finished 5th year... we helped the exam superintendents like getting tea and biscuits or supervising toilet breaks...

Talk to the teacher in charge of the exams, exam superintendent or whatever they're who decides who does it.

id recommend trying to do separate centers, which is the people who need like a reader or something, you do the whole 3 weeks so get paid more, and you get your cheque from the school who claim it so they can put you in for the over 18 rate!! i got 580 euro!! whereas the guys in the main centres most only got half of it cos they were only in some days... just a tip!!!:)

There usually isn't attendants for the seperate centres from my experience.If a candidate needs to go to the bathroom an attendant from the main centre goes with them.

However if a person is appointed as a reader or supervisor for a specific candidate they are only working for the exams that the candidate is taking but get paid per day. Where as attendants get paid per hour so if if I'm correct being appointed to the main centre with the candidates taking a variety of different exams will result in more hours and more money.

I can't say for your school, but at mine we had 8 attendants specifically for separate centres, we had to get extra paper from main centre, supervise toilets and get tea to the readers/scribes... We were also paid per hour. Also, an attendant from main centre couldn't be anything to do with separate centres as they are completely different locations!!

Depends on the number of centres and the layout of the school.
