The Science department has a vacancy for a part-time Science Technician. The successful applicant will need to be flexible and adaptable. Some scientific background would be an advantage, but not essential as training will be given where appropriate. The job is varied involving the setting up and clearing away of equipment, maintenance and repair of equipment and the trialling of experiments. An understanding of health and safety is essential. A good sense of humour is an absolute must, as is the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
