Do you want to help create a fair and efficient examination process for SLU students?

As an exam invigilator at SLU, you are responsible for ensuring that the environment for written exams is calm and secure, and that the exams are conducted in a legally secure manner.

About the job

Your tasks include detecting, preventing, and reporting suspected cheating, as well as ensuring that SLU's rules and guidelines for exams are followed. At the same time, you contribute to a calm and secure exam experience for the students.

Responsibilities include organizing and preparing exam rooms, performing ID checks on students, and providing oral information about current regulations in both Swedish and English. Exam rooms may be scattered across campus, meaning you may need to transport materials and aids to and from these locations.

As an exam invigilator, you will also work with digital in-person exams using the Inspera system, as well as manage laptops with accompanying pedagogical support software used for adapted paper-based exams.

The role involves close collaboration with exam coordinators and other invigilator colleagues.

Your background

To fit the role of exam invigilator, you need to have a strong sense of responsibility and service, be punctual, careful, attentive, and structured. You should be able to set boundaries, take initiative, and work well in a team. You are comfortable speaking in front of larger groups, are social, and can handle people in stressful situations in a calm and clear manner.

Good knowledge of Swedish and English, as well as good computer skills, are required. It is an advantage if you have knowledge of or experience working with various functional disabilities, or if you have previously worked at a university/college or with exams/university entrance tests.

You must be over 18 years old and cannot be an active student at SLU.

Personal suitability will be given great weight.
