Senior ICT Technician

Caterham High is on a journey to excellence – would you like to join us?  

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior ICT Technician to join our team. As our Senior IT Technician, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our school community through delivery of our ICT infrastructure, resolving technical issues, and supporting innovative solutions to enhance learning experiences. 

Working under the direction of Senior Leader Line Manager, Business Manager and ICT Systems Manager, you will join our IT team delivering front line IT support for students and staff to ensure first class ICT provision across the school. If you have relevant experience and a passion for technology and how this can be used to improve the life-chances of young people in a fast-paced education setting, then we want to hear from you.  

Previous experience of working in an educational environment would be an advantage but we will consider those without school experience. Most importantly, you do need to have a commitment to improving the education and life chances of our pupils.   

We are justifiably proud of our recent ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement which recognised our positive learning environment, caring community and ‘strong culture of safeguarding’. Our students “conduct themselves in a calm and orderly manner around school and behave well in lessons” (Ofsted, June 2022). Our high aspirations for all students were recognised by Ofsted through our commitment to provide an exceptional education for all of our students.  

A key strength of Caterham High is our community. We are a values-driven community that upholds five core values as part of The Caterham Way: Believe, Connect, Innovate, Persevere, and Excel. These values serve as a guiding force for both staff and students, shaping the culture and environment of the school. As an East London school, we celebrate our diversity rigorously promoting inclusivity and equality. 

We look to provide development and training opportunities for all staff. Appropriate training and guidance will be provided for this post holder so that they can fulfil all aspects of the role.  

Caterham High School is well-equipped and has good facilities.  We also have two Provisions: one for Deaf children and one for children with Autism. We believe that our facilities are an essential component of our students' education, and we take pride in maintaining them to a high standard.   

Our staff are well known as friendly and welcoming. The senior team seeks to support good health and wellbeing for all staff. There are staff activities such as football, badminton and textiles. Staff have free access to our fitness suite and free parking.
