This role supports the preparation, organisation and safe delivery of practical learning experiences for students and contributes to high‑quality teaching and learning in our science laboratories.

Who We Are

Since its establishment in 2011, Springfield Central State High School has been committed to delivering excellence in student outcomes, underpinned by strong family values and a culture of high expectations. Our improvement priorities are:

  • Believe – all Springers can learn, improve and achieve.
  • Belong – all Springers are valued and included.

Your Role

This is a progressive position; the successful applicant will be appointed to the lower classification with eligibility for progression after meeting specific criteria or demonstrating competence. Salary reflects both classification ranges.

The role is currently offered three days per week (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) with the possibility of increased hours or full‑time employment from 2027 as our science programs grow.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare, set up and pack away laboratory equipment, materials and resources for lessons, demonstrations and practical experiments.
  • Assist teaching staff with the preparation and organisation of practical science activities.
  • Maintain science laboratories, preparation rooms and chemical storage areas to a high standard, ensuring they remain organised, clean and compliant.
  • Ensure safe handling, storage and disposal of chemicals and hazardous materials in accordance with WHS requirements and departmental procedures.
  • Maintain and manage the Chemwatch system, including chemical registers, SDS and manifests.
  • Monitor laboratory consumables and equipment, maintain stock levels and coordinate purchasing of chemicals, materials and laboratory supplies in line with school processes.
  • Prepare chemical solutions and specialised materials required for classroom experiments.
  • Maintain laboratory equipment and coordinate servicing or repairs when required.
  • Support WHS compliance within the science laboratories, including maintaining safety documentation and registers.
  • Assist with WHS audits, risk assessments and compliance checks relating to chemical storage, equipment and laboratory environments.
  • Work collaboratively with teaching staff to support effective and engaging science learning experiences.

Please view the role description for a full list of responsibilities.
