IT Technician

Your new company
Your new organisation is a large and established multi-academy trust supporting schools and communities across the North of England. With a strong focus on collaboration, inclusion and continuous improvement, the trust is committed to creating environments where both pupils and colleagues can thrive. Following the recent addition of a group of schools in the Barrow area, the trust is investing in its local technology provision, creating an exciting opportunity to join a growing IT function and provide hands-on support across multiple school sites.

Your new role
As a Mobile IT Engineer, you'll provide hands-on IT support across a group of schools in the Barrow area that have recently joined the wider trust. Working across multiple sites, you'll play an important role in ensuring staff and students receive a reliable and responsive IT service, resolving day-to-day technical issues and helping schools make effective use of their technology. The role will involve supporting a broad range of hardware, software, devices and IT infrastructure, giving you plenty of variety and the opportunity to build strong relationships with colleagues across the schools. As the sites become more closely integrated with the trust's wider technology environment, you'll also support ongoing improvements and projects, making this an excellent opportunity to join at an exciting time of change and investment.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll be an experienced and confident IT support professional with a background in providing 1st line technical support, ideally within an education or similarly multi-site environment. You'll be comfortable troubleshooting a range of hardware, software, network and device issues, with good working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Windows environments, Active Directory and general networking. As this is a mobile role, you'll need to be organised, self-motivated and comfortable managing your workload across a number of schools in the Barrow area. Strong communication and customer service skills are essential, as you'll be working closely with teaching and support staff who have varying levels of technical knowledge. A full UK driving licence and the ability to travel between school sites would be ideal.

What you'll get in return
In return, you'll receive a competitive salary of £32,000 - £34,8100 alongside a generous local government pension scheme and a range of employee benefits. You'll be joining an inclusive, values-led organisation where people are encouraged to be themselves, work collaboratively and make a positive difference to the schools and communities they support. There is a strong commitment to professional development and career progression, with ongoing training and support available to help you develop your technical skills. This includes opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications such as Google Educator Level 1 and Microsoft certifications. You'll be part of a supportive culture that values inclusion and diversity, providing an excellent environment in which to develop your IT career within a large and growing organisation.
