Summary
Your new company
Join a forward-thinking and inclusive multi-academy trust where innovation, collaboration, and professional development are at the heart of everything we do. Based in Ipswich, you'll be part of a centralised IT team supporting a network of schools, helping to shape the digital learning experience for students and staff alike.
Your new role
We're looking for an enthusiastic IT Technician to join the team on a 6-month fixed term contract in the first instance. You'll play a vital role in delivering high-quality technical support across the Trust. From setting up and maintaining devices to resolving first-line issues and supporting network infrastructure, your work will ensure the smooth running of IT services in a busy educational environment.
You'll be the first point of contact for IT queries, providing professional, customer-focused support to students, teachers, and administrative staff. You'll also assist with software installations, device rollouts, and contribute to ongoing IT projects. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced setting and is eager to grow their technical skills.
What you'll need to succeed
We're looking for a proactive, self-motivated technician with a passion for IT and a strong desire to learn.
To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- Hands-on experience in a similar IT support role
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft technologies (Windows OS, Active Directory, Group Policy, Azure AD, Intune)
- Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs)
- Experience using helpdesk systems and working to SLAs
- Excellent communication and customer service skills
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
Experience in an education setting is preferred but not essential - what matters most is your technical ability, attitude, and willingness to contribute to a collaborative team.
What you'll get in return
- A supportive and inclusive working environment
- Opportunities for professional development and training
- The chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students and staff
- A varied and engaging role with scope to grow your skills and responsibilities
