About the Academy Trust

The King Edward VI Foundation, Birmingham, is a progressive charitable organisation which has supported excellence in education across the City since 1552. Our schools are diverse in nature but have a common purpose and commitment to achieving our mission of “making Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK”.

Our Academy Trust currently consists of two independent schools, six selective, and five non selective academies. Our recent expansion into a wider diversity of local communities is enabling us to accelerate our strategies for improving the life chances of young people in Birmingham, whatever their background.

The King Edward VI Academy Trust Birmingham ("the Academy Trust") was established in 2017 and is made up of the academies outlined above. The academies receive back office central support services including governance, from the Foundation Office (a central support services function), with several staff being seconded from the Foundation to deliver support services to the Academy Trust and the academies themselves.

Our highly focused five-year strategy aims to build on our existing strengths and heritage and deliver our ambitious growth strategy which aims to bring in a further five academies over the next five years.

We are seeking to appoint a permanent, full time, Physics Technician from May 2026 to assist teaching staff in the preparation of practical work in the Physics department at all key stages.

This is a full-time position of 36.5 hours per week with some flexibility available with regards to working hours during the school holidays. Previous experience of working in a school or scientific field is an advantage but is not necessary for this role. The successful applicant should have a genuine interest in the subject backed up by a passion for working with young people.

Interviews will take place the week commencing 23rd March 2026.
