Physics Technician

Join Our Team at Stamford Schools

We are looking for a Physics Technician to support the Physics Department and Science Faculty.

The role of the Science Technician is to help facilitate the delivery of the School’s science curriculum and thus enhance students’ learning. Principle activities are supporting teaching staff in practical work, preparing, clearing and cleaning lesson materials.

The duties of the technicians are overseen by the Senior Technician.
