Science Technician - 3 days per week

Do you want to work at a school where staff thrive and students flourish. Where relationships matter, where wellbeing isn’t just a slogan, and where colleagues genuinely enjoy coming to work? Do you want to join a school where staff feel valued, supported and proud of what they achieve together?

Here’s what sets us apart:

A Warm, Supportive Team

You’ll join colleagues who collaborate daily, celebrate success and share a mission to provide an exceptional experience for every student.

A School That Truly Invests in Staff

We offer high-quality CPD, coaching, mentoring and leadership development. Our staff retention is strong because colleagues feel supported, trusted and appreciated.

Wellbeing Comes First

A dedicated wellbeing hour, Mental Health First Aiders, family-friendly policies and a culture that actively protects work–life balance.

And most importantly, you’ll feel the difference the moment you walk through the door. As one colleague shared: “I’m very happy here and feel respected and looked after.”

Who are we looking for?

An organized and proactive individual who can manage a range of different administrative tasks, spin a few plates and prioritise tasks. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team and also solo. You’ll have a friendly telephone manner and connect well with others.

So, come and see us; we warmly encourage visits. You’ll get a feel for our culture, meet our team and see first-hand why Bedford is such a rewarding place to work.
