Science Technician

Co-op Academy Belle Vue has an exciting opportunity for a dedicated, skilled and enthusiastic Science Technician to join a highly motivated staff team at our brand new school. Co-op Academy Belle Vue opened in 2021 as a brand new free school in Manchester, and is set to move into a brand new, purpose built building in November 2022. As part of that move, we will take ownership of a brand new Science dept including labs and prep room. This is a really exciting opportunity to help build a department from the ground up. Colleagues that join us in these early stages of the academy’s journey will join our team of pioneers who are helping to create a new and exciting school offer for young people in the city.

The role of the Science Technician is to work alongside the Head of Science and Science teachers in order to ensure the smooth and safe delivery of the Science curriculum, with particular emphasis on the practical components. The postholder will organise stock, oversee the prep room, and manage resources so that they are well maintained and ready for lessons. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to make their mark and make a difference!

We are looking for a suitably experienced, enthusiastic and hardworking individual who is able to use their own initiative and who can forge good relationships with parents, students and staff.
