At Magna Academy we have a team of dedicated people who are all working together to achieve our mission of preparing our students for success in the 21st century. 

Our Academy is a vibrant and exciting place to work and was graded as outstanding by OFSTED in June 2015 and again in December 2018. In 2018, Magna achieved a Progress 8 score of +1.15, and in 2019 +1.16, placing us within the top 1% highest performing schools nationally.

We believe that we are starting to do something for our pupils that is really special. However, we know that our results, whilst ground-breaking, are not yet enough to achieve the vision that we have for our academy. 

We value our staff highly, and treat work load very seriously. Our systems ensure you can really focus on your core purpose – supporting students, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.

The successful candidate:

We are looking to recruit an exceptional candidate to the role of Science Technician to join our Science Department at Magna Academy. The successful candidate will support our Science department by providing operational and logistical support as well as some 1-1 and small group tuition for students. You will have a positive ‘can-do’ attitude, along with a good understanding of the Science GCSE and A Level specifications that our students are studying. This role would particularly suit a dynamic, ambitious science graduate, previous laboratory or technician experience would be an advantage. 

What we offer:

  • Bespoke support and line management from an experienced Assistant Principal
  • Professional progression opportunities
  • Great students who conduct themselves impeccably 
  • Strong systems and structures meaning students feel safe and secure
  • Measures to reduce staff workload such as centralised detentions and a sensible feedback policy focused on whole class feedback – we do not have onerous/impossible marking policies
  • A centralised homework system at KS3 
  • No formal graded lesson observations – just ongoing ‘no-stakes’ feedback, helping you to continuously develop – we believe that trusting our staff with autonomy helps to develop a strong ‘develop and excel’ culture
  • Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources
  • CPD starts as soon as you are appointed and is ongoing
  • State of the art facilities and a very pleasant location in beautiful Dorset


Next steps: 

Magna Academy Poole offers an excellent opportunity for an ambitious, talented individual looking to develop their career. Ordinarily, we would be delighted to show you around our Academy in order to fully appreciate our excellent learning environment, however due to the current exceptional circumstances this will unfortunately not be possible.
