Senior IT Technician

Are you an experienced IT Technician looking for the next step in your career, with a proven track record of success?

Due to promotion and career progression within the existing team, we are recruiting for a Senior IT Technician to join us to assist in delivering reliable and efficient IT systems and provide comprehensive IT support for Academy staff and students.

Substantial knowledge and experience of ICT systems and networks and the ability to problem solve and make repairs are essential.  As the Senior Technician, you would be responsible for the day to day running of the school network, under the direction of the Network Manager.  

This is a critical time in the School and Lunesdale Learning Trust’s history and, in order to ensure the development of successful schools ambitious to improve still further, we intend to appoint only staff of the highest ability or with the greatest promise.  Working here is demanding but the rewards are commensurate in a community with a strong, highly motivated staff, great facilities, a lovely environment and pleasant, friendly and highly motivated pupils.

Surprisingly well-connected, for over 400 years we have forged a strong community ethos providing ‘Scholarship and Care’. We’re immensely proud of our commitment to the highest quality teaching and learning coupled with extraordinary pastoral care. We are a truly comprehensive community in which every child is cared for, supported and stretched, moving on to diverse destinations, from local apprenticeships and college courses to highly selective universities.

Building on our long successful history, we launched our sister school in September 2017 creating a small multi-academy trust of our 2 schools, the Lunesdale Learning Trust.    Within this context we can offer ample opportunities for professional development enabling you to fulfil your potential in our high performing, forward thinking community.
