What we are looking for in our successful Technician:
An academic qualification, at least to A Level but preferably to Degree level, within the Science remit
If not an academic qualification, then experience working within a Science-related role would certainly be sufficient

Good organisation and communication skills
The ability to work well as part of a team as well as independently
What we can offer in return:
An excellent opportunity for those strongly considering a career in teaching as training routes may be made available in the future
The opportunity to work within a department where our teaching staff are incredibly passionate about their subject area
Fantastic opportunities for training and development
Duties will include setting up equipment in a laboratory environment for practical lessons, the safe disposal of chemicals, responsibility for ionisation and radioactive materials, stock taking, retrieving and putting away equipment along with any other duties deemed necessary by the department.
This role is ideal for those interested in pursuing a career in teaching in the future as this role offers great exposure and preparedness for teacher training courses. It's also a great opportunity for a current Technician to join an Academy with a STEM specialism and offer the chance to work with state-of-the-art facilities and resources.
The working basis of this role is Term Time + 1 week, 37 hours per week with an actual salary of £16,708 per annum (£19,799 full time equivalent).
