Senior Science Technician

We need a Senior Science Technician to join our Science Faculty. The successful candidate would be expected to organise, deliver and develop technical services to the Science Faculty of the school in order to support the teaching of a range of science subjects from KS3 to ‘A’ level. We are particularly looking for someone with Chemistry specialism/experience who can take full responsibility for this area of work, but other specialisms and work allocations will be considered for the right candidate.

The role of Senior Science Technician is fundamental to our Faculty’s success as we want to ensure that all of our students have access to high quality science teaching and learning, including full access to practical activities in our state-of-the-art science facilities. The successful candidate will line manage other Science Technicians and be fundamental in supporting the Head of Faculty. Full details of the role can be found in the attached job descriptions.

We welcome applications from all candidates, whether you practice a faith or no faith at all.

You do not need to be a member of our specific faith to apply for this role.

As a voluntary-aided school of 1,400 students, including a thriving Sixth Form of around 400 students, JCoSS is a highly regarded, oversubscribed faith school at the heart of our London community. Our students achieve excellent academic outcomes, with almost 50% of all GCSE grades at 7+ and nearly 50% of all A Level grades at A or A*. Alongside a broad and ambitious A Level offer, we are proud to provide a wide range of vocational pathways, ensuring that every student can pursue excellence in a way that reflects their talents and aspirations. While we celebrate our academic success, we are clear that grades alone do not define an outstanding education. At JCoSS, we are committed to developing open-minded, thoughtful young people - mensches - who do the right thing even when nobody is watching. We want our graduates to navigate a changing world with integrity and compassion, able to contribute positively and meaningfully to their and the wider community.

Our staff are deeply committed to our students and to one another, contributing fully to the academic, pastoral and co-curricular life of the school. In return, you will join a collaborative, forward-thinking department, with excellent facilities and colleagues who are generous with their expertise.

Pastoral care at JCoSS is phenomenal and central to who we are. Our dedicated team of over 15 pastoral professionals work tirelessly to ensure that every student is known, supported and challenged to flourish. Relationships matter here: warmth and humour sit comfortably alongside high expectations and mutual respect. We also believe that great schools are built by great professionals who are themselves lifelong learners. Continuous improvement is at the heart of our culture; sitting still is never an option at JCoSS. We are committed to developing our staff through high-quality professional learning, thoughtful coaching and a shared commitment to reflection and growth.

JCoSS is a place where ambition and kindness go hand in hand, where young people are encouraged to strive, to think deeply and to act with integrity. If you share our belief in the transformative power of education and want to play a meaningful role in shaping the next generation, we would be delighted to hear from you.
