Summary
Are you a tech-savvy problem solver looking to kickstart your career in IT? We are looking for an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn Apprentice to join our ICT support team, helping to maintain the digital infrastructure that empowers our students and staff to succeed.
About WPT
At Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), we are fueled by a single commitment: 'We never knowingly do less for other people’s children than we would for our own.' As a thriving network of schools across South Yorkshire, we combine high expectations with embedded inclusivity. We do not work in silos; instead, we rely on deep collaboration and school-to-school support to ensure every student develops socially, emotionally, and academically to achieve the highest standards.
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to earn while you learn within a dynamic educational environment. As an IT Technician Apprentice, you will work under the guidance of experienced staff to provide first-line support across the academy. You will play a key role in minimising disruption to learning by ensuring our hardware and software are functioning correctly. From setting up equipment for lessons to troubleshooting technical glitches, you will gain hands-on experience and valuable qualifications in a supportive setting.
Responsibilities
Installation & Maintenance: Under guidance, install, maintain, and repair computer hardware and software, conducting regular checks to ensure ICT areas are fully operational.
User Support: Provide first-line support to staff and students, setting up equipment and resolving technical issues quickly to minimise disruption to learning.
System Integrity: Maintain system security and efficiency by managing backups, archiving files, and following strict user protocols.
Safeguarding & Compliance: Ensure adherence to ICT policies, particularly regarding internet usage and safeguarding, and report any concerns immediately.
A minimum of GCSE Grade C/4 in Maths and English is preferred but not essential, as this can be completed during the apprenticeship.
