Vacancy ▸ Science Technician

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Science Department as a Science Technician.  Each day you will provide administrative and technical support to the Science department.

The preferred working hours are up to 4 days per week, Tuesday to Friday, from 8:00AM AND 4:00PM during the school term, with a 3:30PM finish on Fridays. You will also be paid for an additional 3 days per year, which enables you to attend training and development that sits outside your normal working hours.  Your actual salary is £16,200.41 per annum, and this is paid in 12 equal instalments over the year so even when it is the summer holidays, you continue to receive the same payment that month.
