When speaking with the trust, their commitment to delivering exceptional educational experiences is clearly demonstrated and the Trust places the pupils at the heart of everything it does. With a strong emphasis on values, community and opportunity, the trust is dedicated to empowering both students and staff to thrive, and they have approached Hays seeking a Senior IT Technician to join their central IT team. This team currently consists of an IT Manager, Assistant IT Manager and a team of technicians and apprentices, and they are keen to appoint a Senior Technician who will be welcomed into the team and fully supported.

This IT service will include the management of the school's IT helpdesk, ensuring that issues are resolved effectively in line with SLAs, managing the school's active directory environment, ensuring the security of the IT network and systems and also supporting the delivery of IT projects on site and across the trust.

In return, you will be paid a competitive salary of between £29,500 and £32,500, which will depend on experience, and you will be joining a supportive organisation with ambitious plans for growth and therefore allowing you to further develop your own skills and experience.
