Cringe Technologies, a leading local MSP for schools and colleges is looking for an experienced IT Support Technician with relevant experience to join our team covering the London area on a full-time basis.
We provide specialist IT support for schools after realising that schools often stumble over the same issues: not having a stable and reliable network, teaching staff not being confident enough with the equipment to deliver effective lessons and knowing the computing curriculum properly to deliver this accordingly.

This is an excellent opportunity to progress your career with a well-established company!
