Biology Technician

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. Science technicians are affiliated to a particular science department or site, but we expect our science technicians to work as a team, and their duties may extend beyond their primary subject area as and when the need arises. From time to time, technicians might be asked to provide assistance in other areas of the school, as and when their science duties allow. The duties of the technicians are overseen by the Senior Technician.

 The successful applicant will be working with the Biology department, but may be required to support in other departments as well. Each science department works together to provide the school with an established faculty of science, to be able to provide students with the best understanding of the scientific world. Each department are well resourced with dedicated laboratories that are equipped for a wide range of practical activities.

 The Science Faculty have an excellent track record of achievement in public examinations. Students are encouraged to be intellectually curious and to develop an effective independent work ethos. As expected, for subjects heavily dependent on the application of subject-specific knowledge, there is an emphasis on continuous learning of the subject material alongside the development of complementary skills such as complex multi-step problem-solving, connection-finding and abstraction, without which students can struggle to apply their learning effectively. We therefore strive to assist students in developing these skills whilst acquiring the required subject content.
