Trust IT Manager

Pension – salary related, defined benefit scheme

Working pattern: full time

Location: Based at Bottisham Village College, but with regular travel across Trust sites in Cambridgeshire, West Suffolk and North Essex.

Anglian Learning is a high-performing multi-academy trust.  The Trust currently supports 6 secondary and 8 primary schools, educating over 7,000 pupils and employing over 800 staff.  Our schools are at the heart of their communities and as well as providing a broad, rich and vibrant curriculum to pupils they also provide sporting, community education and other facilities and opportunities to their local community.

Anglian Learning has grown significantly with 6 schools joining last year and a further primary joined us in April 2021.  We are also planning for the opening of a new primary school, north of Cambridge airport, in September 2022.

The Vacancy

Reporting to the Director of IT, this role will join three other existing Trust IT Managers across Anglian Learning who each oversee the support and development of systems in a cluster of schools.  Together, they form the Technical Services Leadership Team, who develop technological strategy and policy.  This is informed through their strategic working with the school leadership teams, ensuring that services align with the school’s curriculum needs and those of their students and staff.  The successful candidate will be based at Bottisham Village College (supported by an ICT Technician and ICT Apprentice) and will also strategically oversee three primary schools, two of which are local feeder schools and one other that is in Bury St Edmunds, within a 40 minute drive of their base.

This is a really exciting time to join the Anglian Learning Technical Services Team as this centralised service develops and strives to deliver an excellent experience of technology to our school communities.
