Cardiff High School are seeking to appoint a Science Technician
This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving department in an extremely successful school. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, conscientious and flexible person with good communication skills to become a member of a hard-working support team. The post includes preparation and maintenance of resources across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. An interest in science is a desirable requirement and it is essential that the person appointed has good organisational skills, the ability to work as part of a team and be able to use their own initiative. Training will be given to the successful candidate.
At the heart of Cardiff High is a friendly, highly qualified, hardworking and committed team of staff, and you will be offered a very warm welcome should you come to join us.
Cardiff High School is an over-subscribed 11–18 neighbourhood community comprehensive school that forms part of the Cardiff Schools Service. Our current school population stands at around 1800 with an eight form entry in years 7-11. Nearly 600 students make up our sixth form cohort with large numbers choosing to study sciences. Significant numbers of students from outside Cardiff High choose to join us for their A level studies.
The school lies in a very pleasant residential area about 2 miles north of the city centre, and has a multi-cultural school population. We are a genuine comprehensive, bringing together and supporting pupils from a very wide range of backgrounds. The school has extensive facilities to support learning and teaching and also extra-curricular activities. These include well equipped classrooms, sports, music and drama facilities and access to technology.
As a school community we believe firmly in the principle of continuous improvement and this Learning Together philosophy applies as much to our staff as it does to our pupils. We are wholeheartedly committed to continuous professional learning and strive to provide collaboration and development opportunities for all staff.
A copy of the most recent full inspection report can be found on the school website along with other sources of more recent information about life in Cardiff High, including the most recent Headteacher’s Report to Governors and school newsletters.
