Form of workAbout this Role
The technician team in Cheney School’s science department is an integral part of our students’ education. The technicians make the practical aspect of the science curriculum possible, and as such they are highly valued members of the team. The induction is thorough, the staff supportive, and the role is rewarding. This is a part time, 30 hours a week permanent position based at Cheney School.
This role is all about communication and staying organised. Proficiency in English, confidence with numbers, and willingness to work closely as part of a small team are all essential. Successful candidates will have a lot of information to take in during their induction period, and any experience of laboratory or education settings would be an advantage. Safety is the top priority for the technician team, so successful candidates will have an excellent understanding of risks and how to manage them. Full training will be provided, but any prior experience with COSHH or other health and safety frameworks would be helpful.
We offer a positive and supportive workplace where staff go above and beyond to help students and each other. Visitors always comment that people like each other at Cheney. We provide excellent opportunities for career progression, training and advancement; the range of Continuing Professional Development is second to none.

Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
