Wellington City, New Zealand Scots College Full time

Working at Scots College means you will be part of a leading, independent, co-educational school. We have a team of highly qualified staff who genuinely care about supporting each other and who are committed to providing a top quality education experience for our students.

As part of a recent independent review, staff and students at Scots College were asked by an external consultant how they would describe the current culture and feel of Scots College. The most common responses are listed below.

**_Welcoming, friendly, inclusive, proud traditions, family feel, dynamic, happy, lots of opportunities, caring, comfortable, all round education, holistic, explorative, creative, safe physically and emotionally, diverse, culture of self
- improvement, progressive, student led initiatives, empathetic, supportive, personalised, high standards expected, adults know you, unified, connected, respectful, wrap around care._**

We are proud of the report findings, which are testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire College Staff. They are also a strong indicator of what it means to work here.

Scots College prides itself on high quality teaching and building all-round character, but it takes a whole village to deliver an exceptional educational experience. We also have a large team of operational and administration staff who work behind the scenes and are an integral part of the team. This includes IT, marketing, finance, a health centre, and property and catering staff.

**Science Technician - Part Time During Term Time Only**:
We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic person to join the Science Department at Scots College. This important role is primarily to assist the full time Technician to support the teaching staff (including the Lab Manager) and students, in coordinating teaching resources, managing hazardous substances, and generally maintaining equipment and materials in the College’s Science Laboratories. This is a part-time (0.5), permanent appointment (with most school holidays off), and will ideally commence prior to the start of Term 1 2024. We may also be prepared to consider flexibility with holiday work, should this be required.

**With a national and international reputation for excellence, Scots College is a world-class independent school with a strong Presbyterian Heritage. It is a fully co-education, IB World School in the eastern suburbs of Wellington, New Zealand, and comprises three schools in one: Junior (Years 1-6), Middle (Years 7-10), and Senior (Years 11-13). We provide our students with an excellent and holistic education within a vibrant learning environment with the aim of allowing them to contribute as global citizens who think creatively, reason critically, communicate effectively, and develop the necessary skills to learn. For life.**

Most importantly, applicants must have:

- Previous laboratory experience, ideally within a school.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Exceptional organisational skills.
- The ability to work alongside students as well as College staff.
- The ability to work independently, sometimes alone, and still achieve results.
- An understanding of how to ensure laboratory practices align with the “guidance to the Code of Practice for School Exempt Laboratories overlaid with information about duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015” and an ability to develop and monitor processes to match these requirements.
- Competent at using online ordering systems such as RiskAssess (although training will be provided).

This vacancy could close at any time, but no sooner than 4 December 2023, to allow us some flexibility with the appointment. **Please click here to read the job description**.
