Job description

This job application is restricted to applicants in the UK only.

Applications are invited for the post of Science Technician at Marlborough College. This role is primarily based in Biology but may also support Chemistry or Physics on occasions.

Our Science Technicians play an essential role in the smooth running of educational activities of the Department. The technical work of each Department is led by a Senior Technician who is assisted by two further technicians. Providing equipment and materials for lessons in good time is vital. Other activities, where lesson deadlines are not involved, need to be woven around supporting our teachers’ requirements. There are other times during the working week where maintenance, administration or development work can be carried out.

We reserve the right to close this role early if a suitable number of applications are received; early applications are therefore encouraged. We may also call candidates to interview whilst the role is still active.

Marlborough College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
