We are looking to appoint an experienced Science Technician to join the Sylvia Young Theatre School as soon as possible. We welcome applications from those who have current or previous experience of being a science technician in a school or educational provider. This role is not suitable for someone who is new to the role. The role is a part-time term time only position. You would be employed for 2 days a week. These days would need to be on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday which is when our academic science lessons take place. We are flexible to which two days these are as long as they meet the needs of the school. The full time salary for this role is £25,000. The salary for 2 days’ employment per week is calculated at 0.4 of the Full Time Salary. The hours are 8.30am - 4.30pm (TBC with the successful candidate). The Science Technician will work closely alongside our science teachers. We have two science classrooms in our school and a science prep room. You are the sole technician so would need to be able to fully support the science department with a can-do attitude and initiative. You should have a real passion for science. Whilst we are known for our Performing Arts, we do not require candidates to have a performing arts specialism or background. We are a unique school in many ways as we have a 3 day academic curriculum and a 2 day vocational curriculum, however all our students still complete 8-9 GCSE subjects in Year 11 alongside their vocational curriculum. We have a small cohort of students in each year group. Our students each sit a wide range of GCSEs in Year 11 which currently include: GCSE Drama, Art, English Language and Literature, Film Studies, History, Maths, Music, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Spanish. We welcome applications from candidates with experience gained from either the independent or state secondary sector or other educational provider, with no preference for a particular one. We are looking for an individual who is a team player, flexible, organised, hard working and committed to enabling children to flourish. Being a Science Technician holds a lot of responsibility and you are expected to uphold the high standards of health and safety, be very professional at all times supporting all stakeholders, which includes students and staff. We do hope that you will consider taking your next career step and apply to be our Science Technician. The wellbeing of staff is very important to us. We are a friendly and supportive staff community and this is an exciting opportunity for someone wishing to take on a new role in the school. The closing date for applicants is Sunday 1st November, however we reserve the right to interview and close the position earlier. This position is available to start as soon as possible. Thank you for your interest in working in our school
