SCIENCE TECHNICIAN

Loreto

St Albans is an 11-18 girls’ academy recognised by OFSTED as outstanding in all

areas. With the support of our enthusiastic and accomplished staff our students

achieve excellent results, and the Progress 8 performance measure has regularly

placed Loreto in the top 4% of schools in the country. The school is oversubscribed and has earned

an excellent reputation for discipline, pastoral care and academic standards.

The

Science department have a vacancy for a part-time Science Technician. The successful applicant will need to be

flexible and adaptable. Some scientific

background would be an advantage, but not essential as training will be given

where appropriate. The job is varied involving the setting up and clearing away

of equipment, maintenance and repair of equipment and the trialling of experiments. An understanding of health and safety is

essential. A good sense of humour is an

absolute must, as is the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
