Teaching Technician

The Stopford Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories (SUGT) is a large suite of labs which supports practical teaching for all undergraduate students within the Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health. We are looking to appoint a term-time only (39 weeks per year, pro rata) Teaching Technician to support a service which values the student experience above all else. The main purpose of the role is to work alongside technical colleagues to provide technical support as required for the preparation of practical classes, as well as to ensure that stocks of equipment and consumables are maintained and available as required, depending on the skills being taught. Housekeeping and an adherence to good laboratory Health & safety are both important aspects of the role.

This is an exciting opportunity for a hardworking individual with a good scientific background to join a busy team of technical staff who are dedicated to delivering a top-notch student experience.

N.B. The role is a 2-year fixed term position, pending the outcome of a review of the technical service provision across the faculty. The role is an on-campus position and, as such, not suitable for hybrid/flexible working.

• Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
• Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
• Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
