Hays has recruited for this trust for a number of years, receiving continuous positive feedback and hearing about many internal promotions as the trust continues to grow. With a well-established central IT team, the School IT Engineer will become an integral part of the wider IT team, receiving significant support and training, working closely with IT specialists across the trust. Your new role Reporting to the IT Service Lead, the successful candidate will be responsible for diagnosing and resolving hardware, software, network and infrastructure issues, administering systems, installing and configuring equipment, managing service desk tickets through to resolution, and supporting staff and students with day-to-day IT challenges.
