Netherwood Academy is an 11-16 academy which opened in September 2012, set in an extensive £35 million campus. As part of Astrea Academy Trust, Netherwood Academy is in an exciting period of development.As an integral member of the Science and Technician teams, you will have a keen eye for detail, and a commitment to supporting your colleagues to deliver the very best education possible - but, just as importantly, you will be completely dependable and able to deliver tasks and outcomes on time and to a high standard.
The ideal candidate will be experienced as a technician or in the lab, and will have an unstinting commitment to supporting colleagues. We need someone who is prepared to work hard under direction and under their own auspices to ensure the science department is efficient, organised and safe.
We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose.
