About the Role
The University of Staffordshire is seeking a Technical Assistant to join the Science Technical Team.
This is a hands-on role primarily based in teaching rooms and laboratories. The position is not desk-based, and no two days will be the same.
We are looking for a practical, organised individual who enjoys helping others. If you thrive in a setting where you work with equipment, solve problems, and acquire new skills, we’d like to hear from you.
You’ll collaborate closely with staff and students, aiding in preparation for teaching activities while ensuring laboratories and equipment are ready for use.
Responsibilities
As a Technical Assistant, your key duties will include:
- Setting up and clearing away equipment, materials, and resources for practical sessions
- Supporting staff and students during teaching activities
- Addressing questions and troubleshooting simple technical problems
- Maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and organisation of laboratories
- Inventorying and organising equipment and supplies
- Ensuring teaching spaces are ready for use each day
- Collaborating with colleagues to keep technical areas operational
