Advert

We are seeking an excellent full-time, term-time only, Science Laboratory Technician. The successful candidate would be a good team player who can contribute strongly to a committed team. We are looking to recruit as soon as possible.

Experience is desired, but not necessary as full training will be given.

You would be required to assist teachers in the preparation and delivery of lessons for Science (specialising in Physics, Biology and Chemistry) to KS3, KS4 and KS5 level (GCSE & A Level).

The successful candidate will be an individual who ideally has experience in coordinating the use and maintenance of practical Science resources and facilities as well as providing assistance and advice in meeting the practical needs of the Science curriculum.

You will be responsible for preparing resources, chemicals and other materials for class practicals, carrying out maintenance checks, arranging for repairs as necessary, coordinating and organising the inventory of equipment and stock control and undertaking stock checks. Candidates need to be adept at liaising with equipment providers to ensure good quality provision, as well as academic staff to discuss timetables, equipment requirements and work plans.

Previous experience in a Science Technician role in a school environment is desirable but not essential. A positive attitude and calm manner with the ability to organise, prioritise and deal with a demanding workload is vital. You will be an excellent communicator and have a professional approach. Candidates will be a confident and competent user of ICT (Word, Excel and Email).

We are incredibly proud of our latest excellent Independent Schools Inspectorate Inspection report of January 2020 (which can be found on our website by clicking here) and CReSTeD inpection report.
