Science Laboratory Technician job summary
An excellent opportunity to join our successful Science Faculty. The ideal candidate will have a Science qualification at A Level or above and a keen interest in Science. Previous experience of working in this or a similar role would be advantageous but is not essential as full training can be provided. Strong communication and organisational skills are key to this position.
The Science Technicians are an integral part of the faculty, providing valuable support to the Biology, Chemistry and Physics teaching staff. The Science Block is a new, purpose-built building with 12 high-specification teaching laboratories and bespoke preparation rooms on each of its 3 floors.
Ofsted (2024) commented “Pupils’ enthusiasm and excitement towards their learning is evident…Pupils conduct and manners are exemplary. They help and support their peers to do well. It is common practice to hold doors open for others and behave in a friendly, courteous manner. Adults enforce clear learning routines…Pupils sensibly transition between activities”.
The role is offered as full-time (37 hours per week) during the school term time and INSET days, however, applications from those interested in a part-time position will be considered.
We can offer:
A competitive salary with London fringe allowance and Local Government Pension Scheme
Bespoke CPD to suit your career goals
