Science Technician

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic individual, with Laboratory experience, to join our friendly team, working in busy Prep Rooms across two buildings. The successful candidate will support teaching staff to deliver practical lessons.

Ideally, we would like to suggest a working pattern of:

Monday - Friday - 9am - 3pm - 27.5 working hours per week, term time (30 minutes unpaid lunch break each day) plus 20 holiday hours for training, meetings etc - however please note that these working hours are open for negotiation with the right candidate, and a reduction in these hours could be discussed if desired.

The Science Faculty is a high achieving, bustling, energetic department, who support each other and all students to be the best that they can be. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, then this is the job for you!

This is an exciting time to join our campus and we look forward to working with a new member of staff who will share our ambitious vision, “Valuing Everyone, Achieving Excellence”.

The campus has been through a period of significant change having converted to a multi academy trust in 2017 and a merger to a single academy trust from September 2019. Our founding schools were Brookvale High School, an ‘outstanding’ 11-14 high school, and Groby Community College, a 14-19 upper school graded as ‘good with outstanding features’. Now, as a united campus, we meet the educational needs of over 1500 students with over 300 of those enrolled in our Post 16 provisions.

We have a strong ethos of valuing everyone and achieving excellence for all. We set very high standards for our students and ourselves, we work hard, we look after each other, and we are committed to professional learning for all staff. As a consequence the motto we use on a daily basis with our young people is to work hard, be kind which we feel symbolises the culture we aim to create on campus.

We have a spacious semi-rural campus location and most of our students live in the surrounding villages with some travelling from Leicester and its western suburbs.

We look forward to hearing from you.
