Bradfield College is seeking a qualified Biology or Chemistry Technician to join our busy team of laboratory technicians. This is a great opportunity to work in a state–of–the–art and environmentally friendly science centre.
Working during term time, Monday to Friday, plus Saturday mornings, the role will involve supporting teaching staff and pupils with the preparation of apparatus and materials for practical classes and assisting with occasional clerical administration.
This role would suit a person who has initiative, is practical and well organised, and who enjoys working as part of a team.
Experience of working within a science environment (e.g., school or university science department, science‑based industry) is desirable but not essential.
All applicants will be subject to pre‑employment screening, which includes an enhanced DBS and reference check prior to appointment.
The school is legally required to carry out a number of pre‑appointment checks which are detailed in the School’s recruitment, selection and disclosure policy and procedure.
The school will also carry out a check to determine whether successful applicants for relevant roles are prohibited from teaching and/or prohibited from involvement in the management of an independent school. Successful applicants for ‘childcare’ roles will be required to complete a childcare disqualification self‑declaration form. The role you are applying for is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask you to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which would normally be considered “spent”) in order to assess your suitability to work with children. If you are successful in being shortlisted for this role, you will be required to provide information about your suitability to work with children by completing a self‑declaration form. In this form you will be required to provide details of all spent and unspent convictions and cautions. However, you will not have to disclose a caution or conviction for an offence committed in the United Kingdom if it has been filtered in accordance with the DBS filtering rules. Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up employment with the School. Instead, the School will assess each case on its merits and with reference to the School’s objective assessment criteria set out in the School’s ‘Recruitment, selection and disclosure policy and procedure’.
Bradfield College offers a variety of benefits, such as:
- Contributory workplace pension scheme and 3 x life cover
- Subsidised membership of the College Sports Centre and Golf Club
- Access to our Employee Assistance programme
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Electric Vehicle scheme
- Free parking and lunch provided when the College kitchens are open
