The department is split between two bases across the school, one of which is located in our recently built East

You must be flexible, able to work as part of the team and use your own initiative effectively. A thorough
knowledge of safe handling of laboratory materials is essential.

In particular, you will be assisting with the preparation and cleaning/clearing of lesson materials. Experience of

demonstrate a good understanding of and interest in science and have good communication and ICT skills. Good
levels of literacy and numeracy skills are also required.
