Science Technician

Thomas Telford UTC is here in Wolverhampton!!

We are proud to announce the inception of a new school from the Thomas Telford Multi Academy Trust opening to Year 7 students from September 2020, which will see the collaboration of the Outstanding Thomas Telford School with the West Midlands UTC, judged by Ofsted to be Good with Outstanding features. We believe that the strengths of the two schools will unite to offer our students a truly ground breaking opportunity. Our first intake of Year 7 students will join our existing cohorts in Years 10 to 13 in September 2020.

You will enjoy working in state-of-the-art facilities, with a calm positive and respectful environment.

Are you:

• Able to work flexibly and on your own initiative?

• An effective communicator with a friendly and helpful disposition?

• A professional who can work calmly under pressure?

• Committed to helping children achieve and enjoy their school experience?

• Keen to be an active member of an exciting new school community?

We are looking for inspirational staff to help shape an innovative approach to education. 

About Us 

We are delighted that our recent Ofsted (July 2018) recognised all that we do and found us to be a Good school with Outstanding features.

We are looking for an experienced Science Technician to support the delivery of Science in our innovative programme. Our technicians will also perform a secondary support role for classes and students within their subject area and will perform a vital task in helping to ensure that our students will achieve their very best.

Initially the role will be from 9:00 to 12:30 Monday to Friday – there may be a little flexibility with this, Term Time only. The role will grow as the UTC does: as the Science team grows the post holder may be able to take a leading role in the formation of a technician team within science.

The Role

We will be employing only the very best teachers and support staff whose primary focus will be to drive academic excellence alongside technical proficiency. You will be highly presentable and will demonstrate:

• A high level of scientific knowledge and understanding

• Experience of acting as a Science Technician

• A willingness to work with young people in support of their studies.

This post is advertised as Part Time/Term Time only role.  Salary would be £18,000 FTE (pro rata for part time/term time working would be around £7,800 pa)
