Kenton School is a vibrant and inclusive secondary school at the heart of the community in which we serve. With around 1800 students, we are amongst the largest schools in the North East. At Kenton we are passionate about providing the very best education possible for young people in our city, our region and nationally and our strong and committed team share our vision of ensuring all our students not only reach their potential but that they are confident, happy and resilient students who treat each other with compassion and respect.

We are seeking applications for the post of Technician to support our PE and Technology departments in the setting up and dismantling of equipment and resources, ordering stocks and supplies, and maintaining our databases. In Technology, the role also includes stock control and preparation of food for practical lessons. Candidates will also have the opportunity to be involved in wider school duties such as supervising students at breaks and lunchtimes and supporting parents evenings and school events.

We are seeking candidates with excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to work well with both children and adults, combined with the flexibility to work across two very different curriculum areas.

As the role will involve setting up and dismantling large sports equipment such as full size trampolines and gymnastic equipment, candidates must be able to fulfill the requirements of this role. A knowledge of health and safety with the ability to carry out risk assessments is essential and we would be looking for the successful candidate to be willing to act as a designated first aider for which training will be provided. Previous experience working in a school setting would be an advantage as would relevant qualifications in either PE/sport or food/technology.

In return Kenton School offers fantastic developmental possibilities due to its success, size, facilities and a forward thinking management and staff working together to offer the best available chances for our pupils.
