Home Working - Science - GCSE Examiner
Pearson have exciting opportunities for Science teachers to become Examiners for our GCSE Qualification.
An Examiner marks candidates' responses in accordance with the pre-defined mark scheme, whilst adhering to Code of Practice and examination procedures. Most subjects will be marked onscreen using ePEN, which can be done from home. A few subjects are still marked in the traditional method, using paper scripts sent through the post. A high level of subject knowledge is necessary in order to apply the mark scheme. Each examiner will receive an agreed allocation of scripts.
Please note that we welcome applications for all Science specialisms, we are particularly interested in Examiners who would be keen in marking Physics papers.
Becoming an Examiner is a great opportunity to:
• Develop your career in education
