Job description

Job Title: Science Technician Extraordinaire

Location: Leeds

Start Date: September 2025

Contract: Full-time, Term Time Only (39 weeks)

Are you a lab legend? A Bunsen burner boss? A connoisseur of conical flasks?

On behalf of a dynamic and welcoming secondary school in Leeds, Protocol Education is seeking a brilliant, beaker-loving Science Technician to join their bubbling Science Department this September.

About the School:

This is a school where curiosity is celebrated, explosions are (safely) encouraged, and science isn't just a subject - it's a spectacle. With a dedicated teaching team and inquisitive young minds at the ready, you'll be helping to bring learning to life through exciting practicals and perfectly prepared experiments.

What You'll Be Doing (other than saving the day with last-minute goggles):

1. Setting up experiments that dazzle, fizz, pop, and educate.
2. Organising and maintaining lab equipment like a scientific superhero.
3. Ensuring chemicals are stored safely (no dodgy potions here - we follow COSHH).
4. Supporting students and staff during practical lessons - think backstage crew for the best kind of live show.
5. Managing resources and supplies like a logistics pro in a white coat.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Has previous experience in a laboratory setting, with a passion for science and education.
