Batley Girls’ High School is an 11-19 school dedicated to providing an environment that enables all members of our school community to thrive. “This warm, welcoming school is wholeheartedly focused on its pupils. Pupils settle in quickly when they arrive. They understand that staff care for them and want them to succeed. They go on to do well in the subjects they study and appreciate the help they get to achieve.” (OFSTED 2025). Centrally to this is commitment to invest in all colleagues to help them flourish and support our learners. “Staff enjoy working together as a team. They receive timely professional development in line with the school’s improvement priorities. It aids teachers in developing their subject and pedagogical understanding well.”
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, highly organised and experienced Science technician to play a key role in enhancing the quality of science education and encourage our learners to realise their full potential. The post holder will work with a highly professional team to provide efficient and effective support to colleagues and young people. The successful applicant will ideally have previous experience of laboratory work (from either education or employment). They will have the ability to prepare materials and equipment for science lessons and be familiar with CLEAPSS systems and COSHH regulations, however, full training will be provided in these areas should it be required.
