• Supporting Windows laptops and desktops, Chromebooks and iPads.
• Managing users, accounts and devices across Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Intune.

• Assisting with Cisco Meraki networking and Wi-Fi.

• Carrying out hardware repairs, upgrades and general maintenance.
• Managing helpdesk tickets and responding to user requests.li>
• Supporting printers and other technology across the site.
• Assisting with new device deployments and technology rollouts.
• Getting involved with IT upgrades, infrastructure improvements and wider projects.
• Working alongside the IT team to ensure systems and technology run smoothly across the school.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience within an IT Support, IT Technician, IT Engineer or similar technical role.
• Good knowledge of Windows desktops and laptops.
• Experience with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory.
• Good general networking knowledge.
• Strong hardware and software troubleshooting skills.
• Any exposure to servers, virtualisation or cloud technologies would be beneficial.
• Confident communicating with users with different levels of technical knowledge.
• A proactive, hands-on approach to problem solving.
• Comfortable working independently as well as part of a small IT team.
• Someone who enjoys variety and is happy getting involved across different areas of IT.

Previous experience within education or a school environment would be beneficial but isn't essential. Candidates coming from an MSP, internal IT team or similarly varied technical environment would also be well suited.
