Assistant Laboratory Technician- Chemistry

Radley College is looking to appoint an Assistant Laboratory Technician for its Chemistry Department. Working hours are 8.00 am - 4.00 pm Mondays to Thursday, with one hour for lunch. Very occasionally help may be required outside these hours on Saturdays.

The role will suit somebody who has experience or would like to acquire experience in laboratory work. There is a Senior Technician and both roles report to the Head of Department.

The department prides itself on aspiring to the highest levels in its teaching of Chemistry and is consistently aiming to raise expectations in the boys. The department follows the AQA GCSE and Edexcel A-level courses and the practical elements therein take up an important part of a boys' chemistry education.

Chemistry is taught in the lower school in preparation for EdexcelIGCSE Chemistry or Dual Award Science taken by boys at the end of the Fifth Form (Year 11).

We are looking for someone with a calm, reliable, professional manner, strong organisational skills and a positive approach. Experience of working in a school or educational science laboratory would be desirable.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon, Thursday 23 April and we reserve the right to review applications as they are received.
