Technicians: Leadership - inspiring, managing, and making an Impact

Leadership as a technician goes beyond managing prep rooms and resources - it’s about inspiring others, building strong teams, and raising the profile of technicians within education. This session will explore how technicians can develop confidence as leaders, share best practice, and foster collaboration across schools and networks. Through practical strategies and real-life examples, we will look at effective team management, communication, and professional development, while also celebrating the influence technicians have in shaping a culture of scientific curiosity. Participants will leave with both inspiration and actionable tools to enhance their leadership skills and amplify the technician voice in their own institutions and beyond.
