Kendrick School is a successful 11-18 girls’ grammar school in the centre of Reading. Graded ‘Outstanding’ in all its OFSTED inspections, Kendrick School is a centre of academic excellence with a track record of high performance and achievement.
About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Art & Technology Technician to join us in October 2026.
The successful candidate will be practical and resourceful and provide helpful support to the Art and Technology departments and students working in these areas.
Previous experience in a technician role is not essential, however the successful applicant must be interested in working in a creative environment and welcome becoming part of an experienced team dedicated to the creative education of young people.
A background in art and/or technology would be desirable, but a willingness to learn creative skills is more important.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
