Your new company This multi-academy trust consists of 40 schools, with a strong presence in the North West, particularly in the Greater Manchester area, and they have recently approached Hays seeking an IT Engineer/Technician to join their well established IT team of over 40 specialists. Having recruited for this organisation over the last year and having spent significant time with the central IT team, I can strongly recommend them as a supportive, progressive and forward-thinking employer in the education sector. Due to recent changes at one of their North East Manchester schools, they are keen to add to this team by appointing an experienced IT specialist to provide support in the Oldham area. Your new role Reporting to the Regional IT Manager, you will be responsible for providing IT support and delivering on IT projects at a Manchester-based secondary school where you will join a team of established specialists who will support you on a daily basis. Duties will include supporting end users with the use of IT equipment, handling any troubleshooting issues which could relate to hardware, software, networking or bespoke technologies specific to the education sector. This will mean liaising with pupils, staff and senior leadership on a daily basis to provide the highest level of service from an IT perspective and ensure that teaching and learning is facilitated by the use of technology in the classroom. In addition, as a trust, they have several ongoing projects across schools, and it is therefore important that you are supporting the delivery of these projects, working closely with colleagues and the central IT team. These projects can range from the introduction of a new MIS system, to mass replacement of hardware, installation of new software and also working with end users around the use of new IT equipment. This is a permanent position where you will receive significant ongoing training and be fully supported by a central team. What you'll need to succeed In order to be successful in securing this position, you must possess significant IT experience, ideally having worked in a hands-on IT support role in the education sector where a high level of support for both hardware and software is required. You will be seeking a role where you are able to further develop your skills from a technical perspective, as well as becoming a part of a progressive organisation where you will have the opportunity to further develop your career. Experience working in a cloud environment would also be beneficial. What you'll get in return In return, you will be paid a competitive salary of between 29,000 and 32,000 dependent on experience, as well as a 1500 retention bonus paid after 2 years' service and regular salary reviews. You will also receive the attractive benefits package which includes 31 days holiday (plus bank), high value retail discounts, a local government pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and various others. You will also become an integral part of an organisation focused on the development of its staff.
