Windsor Forest Colleges Group is a leading education provider in the south-east, which was formed through a partnership between East Berkshire College and Strode’s College in Egham. Delivering high quality education and training to over 8,000 students and businesses each year, we offer state-of-the-art learning environments at our three main campuses: Langley College, Strode's College and Windsor College.

Join our friendly team and you’ll not only have a rewarding career, but you’ll also become part of a forward-thinking community, which is dedicated to helping its staff as well as its students develop their skills and fulfil their potential.

Our mission is to inspire ambition and make a positive difference to lives through learning. We are keen to recruit talented individuals who are passionate about helping us to deliver the highest standards of education and training to local people, communities and businesses. In return, we offer a supportive and inclusive working environment, where everyone’s skills and ideas are valued and respected.

The Science Technician (Chemistry) plays a pivotal role within the department and is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and suitably qualified candidate.

Assisting the Senior Technician, you will support staff and students in the Laboratories and assist in the preparation of chemicals for demonstrations and practical activities. 

You will also ensure the maintenance of a healthy & safe working environment through actively contributing to the assessment, monitoring and review of both health & safety procedures and information resources.

This post offers the successful applicant the opportunity to support the work of a large Science department of the college by working alongside a further two science technicians who are based in dedicated prep rooms. 

The successful applicant will be educated to HND level or higher in a Chemistry or Science related subject. Experience of working in a commercial laboratory would be a distinct advantage but not essential.
