Science Technician

We are looking for two enthusiastic Science Technicians to join our team, working across all three Science specialisms, starting asap.

This role will support teachers in the delivery of the curriculum within lessons. The technician will assist in the maintenance and preparation of the classrooms, apparatus and materials for staff and students, with a view to supporting safe, effective and efficient teaching and learning.

A science qualification to at least A Level or equivalent is essential, and technician or laboratory experience would be desirable. The ideal candidate will have the technical competence required for preparing and ordering materials, as well as maintaining machines and equipment. They will have previous experience working with children, strong organisational skills and the ability to work as part of a team as well as independently.

The Science department runs smoothly and our students achieve well across Key Stages 3 to 5. Our core purpose is to fully engage all our students and ignite their curiosity and determination so they can achieve their full potential. Staff benefit from a positive working environment with strong support for professional development in a Science department comprising 11 laboratories at the main Tunbridge Wells campus and six further laboratories at the Sevenoaks campus. All are fully equipped for high-quality teaching and learning and one laboratory is specialised for teaching A Level Chemistry.

Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys is an expanding and rapidly improving selective grammar school. It is undergoing a period of transformational change benefiting from a multi-million pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021.

Staff benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Please note that we will only accept CVs that are accompanied by an application form (see below). We shall review applications as we receive them.
