Science Technician job summary

We are seeking to appoint a Science Technician from September 2025. This position requires the provision of practical support to the Science Department as a full member of the existing technician team. The Science Department is a large and committed team with Biology, Chemistry and Physics subject specialists. Students from Year 7 to Year 13 undertake practical work in lessons, for which our technicians provide vital organisation, creativity and support. Teachers work closely with technicians who manage the resources needed for this valuable learning, bringing the curriculum to life.

You will have good organisational and interpersonal skills; those with experience of working in a scientific environment will have an advantage, although scientific experience is not essential. Understanding of Physics or Biology would be an advantage. You will be required to act as First Aider within this area of the school.
