We are seeking
Exam Invigilators for our Examination Department.
Content and Responsibilities
For spring 2026, we are seeking exam invigilators to work with examinations at Malmö University. Exams are conducted both digitally and on paper, with the digital format becoming increasingly prevalent. Therefore, it is crucial that you have good computer skills, an interest in IT, and can easily learn new computer systems.
As an exam invigilator, you have an important task in ensuring that exams are conducted legally and in accordance with the university's regulations. You will handle practical and administrative tasks related to exams and provide information to students in Swedish and English. Exams take place in large halls and smaller rooms with one or a few students. Work shifts vary in length but are typically around 6 hours.
The hired exam invigilator will undergo mandatory training.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone passionate about service who can consistently provide a professional approach to students, teachers, and others, even in pressured situations. In this role, you need to be clear and communicate what applies in different scenarios. We have high requirements for collaboration skills, and it is important that you enjoy working in a team.
