We are seeking to employ an enthusiastic and proficient technician to provide essential support for the school’s highly achieving Science Faculty. You will give a practical, technical service to members of the teaching staff through the preparation and provision of equipment, apparatus and chemicals for experiments and demonstrations.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate their ability to work effectively within a team, and under their own initiative. Although a sound scientific knowledge, experience of handling and preparing chemicals, and assembling apparatus could be advantageous, this is not essential as full training will be provided if you are enthusiastic about science and keen to learn.
Working within a team of experienced technicians, and under the guidance of a Senior Technician, you will support students aged 11 to 19 in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Health and Safety will be a key part of your role, and you may also carry out Portable Appliance Testing within the Science Faculty; training for this and other aspects of the role will be provided where appropriate.
