Help bring science to life for young people

Are you organised, practical and passionate about supporting learning? Do you enjoy working in a busy environment where no two days are the same? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Callington Community College, part of the Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST), is seeking a committed and enthusiastic Science Technician to support our thriving Science Department.

In this rewarding role, you will prepare and set up equipment and materials for practical science lessons, help maintain laboratories and stock, support health and safety compliance, and work closely with teaching staff to ensure students benefit from engaging and inspiring practical experiences.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised and reliable
• Has good ICT and administrative skills
• Can work independently and as part of a team
• Enjoys supporting young people to succeed
• Shares our values of collaboration, aspiration, integrity, compassion and respect

Previous laboratory experience is desirable, particularly within a school or college setting, but we welcome applications from individuals with transferable skills and a willingness to learn.

What we offer

• A friendly and supportive team environment
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• The chance to make a real difference to students' educational experiences
• Membership of a successful and ambitious multi-academy trust

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if sufficient applications are received, so early application is encouraged.

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

The post is subject to receipt of satisfactory enhanced DBS clearance, which will include, if appropriate, a letter of good conduct from any country in which an applicant has worked or lived in within the last 5 years; plus prudent checks of references and employment history.
