Science Technician job summary
About this role:
We are seeking to appoint a highly organised, proactive and adaptable colleague to join our school as a Science Technician working within a strong and supportive team, offering opportunities for further development and professional learning.
Main Responsibilities:
You will be required to help coordinate the use of practical resources and to provide assistance and advice in meeting the practical needs of the Science curriculum, under the guidance of the Senior Science Technician, covering Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Experience would be an advantage but training will be given.
The details of the role can be found in the Job Description and Person Specification.
We are a wholly inclusive environment with a simple goal that seeks to ensure that everyone achieves and everyone belongs. We are dedicated to educating the whole person and invite all staff to nurture courageous and compassionate hearts, alongside curious and creative minds.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
The school reserves the right to consider and interview candidates ahead of the closing date if appropriate and therefore, an offer may be made to an exceptional candidate in this instance.

OUR VISION is for the schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better, faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles around High-TEMPO teaching, and a commitment to calm, kind and compassionate classrooms.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
