Exam invigilators: salary in the UK

ONS didn't publish salary figures for Exam invigilators in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.

The wider group Elementary Security Occupations (SOC 923) has a median of £35,146 a year.
