Your new company
This multi-academy trust has a strong presence in the Greater Manchester area and a strong focus on ensuring all staff have the opportunity to progress and further develop their skills. With a very people-centred approach, they are also focused on ensuring the right people are appointed to ensure the continued success and growth of the organisation. As a trust, they are also a market leader in the industry in terms of the salaries and benefits they are able to offer to their staff and this allows them to ensure a low staff turnover within the trust. They have approached Hays to appoint an IT Engineer to join their well established central IT team, with this role being based at a secondary school in the Salford area. The secondary school itself has an excellent reputation locally and is easily commutable from across the Greater Manchester area.
Your new role
Reporting to the IT Manager, you will be responsible for working closely with fellow IT colleagues to ensure the maintenance of software, hardware and related IT equipment across both the school and the trust, working closely with end users whilst also supporting the delivery of IT projects. On a daily basis, this will include the installation and updating of software, installation and building of hardware, whilst also responding to any helpdesk requests from end users around this equipment. You will also be working with education sector specific IT equipment on a daily basis, working with bespoke software and technologies, therefore allowing you to further develop your skills and experience. In addition to this, you will support the delivery of IT projects across the trust, which could be focused around upgrading the trust's infrastructure from a network perspective, introducing a new information management system or rolling out new equipment to end users. You will become an integral part of the IT team, working closely with both pupils and staff, as well as the wider IT and support staff team.
What you'll need to succeed
In order to be successful in securing this position, you must possess significant IT Engineer/IT Technician experience, having ideally worked in the education sector providing IT support previously, whether this be for a school, multi-academy trust, or managed service provider. You will be seeking a position with a progressive organisation where you can provide a high level of support, working as part of a wider team.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will be paid a competitive annual salary of between £29,000 and £32,000, with regular salary reviews and increases.
