You will be responsible for implementing risk assessments in the practical areas of the science department.

The successful candidate will provide support to the delivery staff and management in the science department. You will need to be flexible and have some previous knowledge of materials preparation, experiment preparation and equipment maintenance along with strict adherence to health and safety.
