Summary
Eastbury Community School is seeking a dedicated, organized, and enthusiastic Science Technician to support our thriving Science department. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a large, vibrant school community where we strive to inspire young minds and provide a high-quality education for all.
About Us:
Eastbury Community School is a diverse and inclusive 3-19 school that values academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement. With state-of-the-art science facilities, we are committed to delivering hands-on, engaging science lessons that fuel curiosity and foster a love for learning in our students.
The Role:
As a Science Technician, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of practical science lessons in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. You will ensure that materials and equipment are prepared and maintained to high standards, helping teachers provide students with engaging and safe practical experiences.
Responsibilities include:
• Preparing, setting up, and clearing away equipment and materials for lessons and demonstrations.
• Ensuring the safe handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals and biological specimens in line with health and safety regulations (COSHH, CLEAPSS).
• Maintaining laboratory equipment and supplies, and placing orders as needed.
• Assisting with the maintenance of an organized and safe laboratory environment.
• Supporting teachers and students during practical lessons.
ECS celebrates its diversity, and we positively welcome applications from all sections of the community. If you are interested in making a difference in young people’s lives, whatever your background or history please apply.
In return we can offer:
• A pupil centred, progress focused ethos.
• A welcoming and supportive community.
• The opportunity to work with a passionate, hardworking and supportive staff.
• A commitment to develop your skills through continued professional development.
• A supportive and committed Leadership Team and Governing Body.
• A cohort of pupils with high aspirations and a willingness to learn.
• A school which understands the importance of staff well-being and workload management
“Pupils value the opportunities that they have to work with leaders to further improve the
school, for example through the school council. Older pupils, and students in the sixth
form, help pupils in the primary phase with their reading. Pupils benefit from a range of
extra-curricular clubs, both at lunchtime and after school.” (Ofsted March 2024)
