Science Technician (part time)

Hampton Court House is an award-winning independent co-educational day school for ages 2 - 18, educating children in Pre-Nursery to students in Year 13. The majority of our 300+ pupils elect to stay on to complete their full education with us, enjoying great success in their GCSEs and A Levels. Hampton Court House was in 2022 ranked in the top 50 independent schools nationwide (The Telegraph) and was shortlisted for the TES Independent School Awards 2020 'senior school of the year'.

We strive to lay the foundations of a lifelong love of learning, and it is important to us that children enjoy being here and look forward to coming to school. In keeping with our ethos, we believe that children need some guided freedom in order to develop their independence and confidence to use their voice. Our non-uniform parkland campus environment, in which staff and pupils alike are addressed on a first-name basis, cultivates an energy where our pupils can explore their individuality and style with taste and discretion.

We seek an outstanding science technician to support teachers in delivering high quality practical work, inspiring students and enabling them to develop a deeper understanding of science.

We are looking for someone with:

• A passion for educating, inspiring and understanding children and teenagers



• A love of learning and a commitment to continued professional development

• A desire to participate actively in the life of a busy and ambitious school



• A belief that every pupil can succeed beyond their expectations



• A sense of adventure as well as a sense of humour



• An interest in the peoples, cultures and languages of the world


The role will report to the Head of Science.

The successful candidate must show interest across the science curriculum; as we are a small school, the role will involve all of the sciences, and a keenness to develop our unique campus site to provide an engaging and enriched science experience for learners aged 2 to 18+ in essential.
