The Bablake and King Henry VIII schools have proudly served Coventry and the wider region for over 1,150 years combined. Throughout our history our schools have thrived by adapting to circumstances while staying true to our mission to provide a first-class, affordable independent education for the children of Coventry and beyond. The creation of the new Bablake King Henry School is the next chapter in that proud history. By creating dedicated age-specific sites under a single leadership we will provide more choice and opportunity to every child. The transition to a single school with our senior site at Bablake and our prep site at King Henry VIII is planned to happen over two academic years starting in September 2021.

We are looking to recruit a part time Science Technician specializing in Chemistry to join our team at Bablake School. You will work with our teachers as part of our Science team to provide technical assistance through the preparation and day to-day maintenance of teaching areas and equipment for pupils.

You will perform all of your duties in line with relevant Health & Safety regulations and policies and practices.

This is a temporary post with the possibility of becoming permanent. You will be required to work 3.5 hours per day Monday to Friday (term-time only). The actual pattern of hours worked is reasonably flexible around the core school day.
