Miltoncross is an academy at the heart of its community that has very high aspirations for all of its staff and students. We operate by the core values of Work Hard. Be Kind. No Excuses in order to foster a learning community where everybody values each other and the power of learning. We offer a supportive and collegiate working environment where we all have the same goal - outstanding learning for children.

We are committed to building a fresh, optimistic and sustainable culture where staff and students are always fulfilled because they know that they are doing their best work for the right reasons. Our systems and structures are designed to liberate staff and students, freeing us from the challenges of uncertainty and relentless workload which enables creativity and excitement, making coming to school enjoyable for all!

As the Science Technician, you will play a critical role in supporting the school. You will support all the teachers in meeting their needs and assist students in achieving their learning goals. It is essential that you are enthusiastic, positive, calming and have a “can do” attitude. As an ambassador for the school, it is important that you embody the value, vision and ethos of the school.

We are looking for a proactive and resourceful member of staff who is warm, kind and highly effective at communicating with young people and adults. The ideal candidate will be a team player with recent experience of working in a school and ideally have knowledge of a school or educational establishment. Excellent organisational, planning, and prioritisation skills are required, along with strong interpersonal skills.

At Miltoncross, we are on an exciting journey to become the very best. We have high expectations of ourselves and our students. We provide a strong well-rounded education that has attainment at its heart. We take a warm and strict approach, with strong consistent systems that serve our young people well, leading to good behaviour in classrooms.

Miltoncross is a cheerful place to work where everybody pulls in the same direction and works hard to ensure that we give our students the excellent service that they deserve.
