The Boys’ Division Senior School is seeking to appoint a Physics Technician on a permanent, part-time basis. The role involves working one day per week during term time, plus an additional two days to be worked during the school holidays.

The successful candidate will support the teaching and learning of Physics, with the flexibility to assist across the other science disciplines as required. Responsibilities include preparing and setting up equipment and practical resources, testing apparatus for experiments, assisting with practical demonstrations as required by teaching staff, and ensuring that all equipment is cleared away, cleaned, and stored appropriately after use.

With some 2,500 pupils, Bolton School is a large, thriving, academically selective day school. It is situated a mile or so from the town centre in a stunning 32 acre campus and is within easy reach of some of the nation’s finest cities and countryside.

In Autumn 2021, significant changes were made to the leadership structure of the School Foundation, investing the newly created position of Head of Foundation with overall responsibility. Within the new structure, there are three sections: Girls’ Division, Boys’ Division and Primary Division. A Head of each Division and the Head of Foundation, together with the Clerk and Treasurer and Director of Operational Services, are the Foundation’s Senior Officers; they are directly accountable to the Governors.

Two adjoining and similar buildings, now attached by a state-of-the art Sixth Form Centre, house the Boys’ and Girls’ Senior Schools, each of which provides a traditional academic education from the age of 11 years. The Primary Division includes separate Junior Schools for boys and girls from the age of 7 and a co-educational Infant School and Nursery.
