The role mainly involves supporting a team of technicians to provide technical support, ensuring that equipment is functioning properly and is ready to use, and that the right materials are available for particular lessons. Sometimes laboratory technicians may be expected to work closely with students to explain or demonstrate experiments or how to use equipment, as well as helping teachers with a class and supporting individual students on research projects.
- Some of the typical work activities are as follows:
- Overseeing the daily work quality of other STEM technicians.
- Managing the stock control of equipment and other materials.
- Record keeping, e.g. for students' practical sessions, tracking methods, results, budgets, etc.
- Liaising with the Head of STEM & staff at regular intervals to discuss and prepare plans for schemes of work.
- Running trials of projects prior to classes and then demonstrating techniques for practical work for lessons.
- Supporting the work of teachers in classes and workshop sessions and giving technical advice to staff and students.
- Preparing equipment and resources before lessons as requested by the teaching staff for lessons.
This is an excellent opportunity for a D&T or Science Technician to help shape the development and infrastructure of STEM as a pioneering flagship for the new school, and opportunities for career progression for the right person are extensive. Salary dependent upon knowledge and experience, applications will be considered as they are received. CVs are not accepted.
