Science Technician

We are looking for a Science Technician who

understands that a “failed experiment” is often the start of something

brilliant — not just in the beaker, but in a young person’s confidence.

Our students have faced challenges that make

traditional classrooms feel like a minefield. Your role is to help make the

Science lab a sanctuary of curiosity, calm and connection. You’ll support small

groups, helping them engage in practical learning without feeling overwhelmed,

and celebrating every ‘lightbulb moment’ along the way.

The role:

Supporting the Science Teacher in delivering Science, including GCSE or

Functional Skills pathways. Preparing and organising equipment for practical lessons, ensuring the

lab is safe, calm and ready to learn. Providing in‑class support to pupils with diverse EHCPs, helping them

access learning at their own pace. Using trauma‑informed approaches to de‑escalate behaviour, build trust

and create predictable routines. Encouraging hands‑on learning while helping pupils stay regulated and

confident. Working closely with therapists and support staff to ensure emotional

needs are met alongside academic goals. Maintaining resources, stock and basic lab organisation to keep the

department running smoothly.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist (though it

helps if you know how they work). What you do need is patience,

resilience and a warm heart. Someone who doesn’t give up when a pupil is having

a tough day.
