We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Science Technician to join our brand new school, The Kingsbrook School. As a Technician you will work under the guidance of the Head of Department and subject teachers to support the teaching and learning of all children and young people.

As a Technician for Science, you will be responsible for supporting the smooth running of the departments and ensuring that students have access to the materials and equipment they need to excel in their studies.

As a member of our team, you will be passionate about contributing your skills to ensure all our children and young people receive the best possible education. You will be able to work with students across the school in lessons and support the development of both curriculum areas, which are well resourced and popular with our students.
