We are therefore, seeking a self-motivated, hardworking, and dedicated Science Technician to join our strong Department. The successful candidate will be supported by the Head of Department. The science subjects are hugely popular at the school and the technician provides a key support role by preparing for lessons.

If you relish the opportunity of working in a supportive and stimulating environment, we would welcome your application.
All roles involve responsibilities and expectations as set out in the appropriate national standards and in the role specification and documentation.
All members of staff are expected to promote and safeguard the welfare of students in accordance with the Safeguarding Children in Education Act, including maintaining clear professional boundaries in all relationships; to promote an anti-racist, multi-cultural approach. Additional duties may be asked of members of staff as occasion requires.
This position is subject to a criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) which will require you to disclose details of all unspent and unfiltered spent reprimands, formal warnings, cautions and convictions as part of the recruitment process. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
