Successful candidates will be part of a school that is at the forefront of STEAM education, both in terms of ambition and in terms of resourcing available. We have fully equipped, separate labs for science, computing and design technology. We believe that through high quality teaching every single pupil can develop a love for STEAM subjects. As our Primary STEAM Technician, you will have a demonstrable background in Science and/or technology and be able to maintain, resource and prepare our STEAM facilities (Design Technology, Computing and Science Labs) for teaching. S

In this role you’ll know you’ll know how to source, purchase and maintain equipment effectively, and ensure lesson resources are prepared in a timely fashion. You will communicate confidently across diverse audiences and situations to build strong relationships with staff, parents and children. You’ll model the school’s values: be kind; be resilient; take risks; act with integrity and to be ambitious.
