About this role
Science Technician with Art/DT SupportKing’s Leadership Academy Wavertree.

With only Year 7 and Year 8 on roll, we are growing carefully and ambitiously.
We are seeking an organised, practical and enthusiastic Science Technician to support high-quality practical learning across the academy.
This is primarily a Science Technician role. During the first academic year, the successful candidate will also provide some support in Art and Design Technology, within their confidence and ability. The majority of the role will remain focused on Science, where curriculum need is greatest. Training will be provided where needed.
The RoleAs Science Technician, you will prepare, organise and maintain equipment, chemicals, materials and specialist resources so teachers can deliver safe, effective practical lessons.
You will help keep laboratories, prep rooms and practical learning spaces well organised, safe and ready for use. You will also support stock control, equipment checks, safe storage and relevant health and safety procedures.
In the first year, you will provide light-touch support for Art and DT, such as preparing materials, organising tools and helping maintain safe, tidy practical spaces. As the school currently has only two year groups, this will be manageable and sensibly balanced.
