**Job Responsibilities**
The Swedish Defence University conducts approximately 50 written exams each term, aiming to carry them out with high quality and provide excellent service to students and staff.

- Distributing and collecting exam papers.
- Informing students in the exam room in both Swedish and, where applicable, in English.

Written exams are primarily conducted on weekdays and Saturdays during the day, but may also extend into the evenings on weekdays. Work shifts typically last 4–6 hours, but longer shifts may occur if multiple exams are scheduled on the same day. The Swedish Defence University primarily conducts written exams digitally in the exam system, but paper-based exams are also held.
You will receive training upon starting with us as an exam invigilator.
