Do you have an interest in science and a wish to become trained as a science technician?  If so, we have just the right opportunity for you.

We are looking for an assistant science technician to join our successful and friendly science faculty.  The overall purpose of the role is to complement the educational work of the faculty and to provide an effective and efficient support for the learning and teaching of science.  Ideally you will be educated to at least A level in sciences and ideally you will have industrial or school laboratory experience enabling you to work in accordance with health and safety requirements.  Most importantly you will need an aptitude for science, excellent problem solving and organisational skills with strong IT skills.

We have excellent resources and laboratories within the science faculty.  Science has a high profile at Kingsbury as not only are sciences popular option choices at KS4, but also results are good and strong links are enjoyed with other schools in our Trust, local universities and with a whole host of enrichment groups.

You will be joining Kingsbury School at an exciting time as we are part of Castle Phoenix Trust and are very proud of our good Ofsted outcome.  Being part of a Multi Academy Trust, and its associated teaching school, facilitates an opportunity to further develop our strategies to continue to invest in and develop our staff and, most importantly, bring about the best possible outcomes for our students who deserve the very best.

This fulfilling role will provide a wealth of developmental opportunities and we will ensure you receive a comprehensive induction programme. Every day will be different and we will play to your strengths.  We have a strong commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition through our wellbeing committee and people strategy, and offer a range of benefits which include the local government pension scheme, cycle to work, discounted gym membership, free parking and an employee discount scheme.

If you have the passion and determination to be valued part of our team, that has a desire to continuously improve, we would love to hear from you.
