IT Technician

Your new company This multi academy trust has over 30 schools across the UK, with a strong presence of schools in the North West, and they have recently approached Hays seeking an IT Technician to provide interim support for a couple of months, while they recruit on a more permanent basis. The role will be based at a secondary school in the Rochdale area, easily accessible via main roads, and you will be working in an environment where you will be fully supported by wider central IT staff and on-site staff at the school. This role is a position which could also become permanent for the right candidate. Your new role As an IT Technician, your primary responsibility will be to provide IT support to end users on site at the secondary school, where this will include staff and pupils, as well as support with the delivery of any IT projects being managed by the wider trust. From an IT support perspective, you will support with hardware, software, networking and with specific educational technologies, therefore allowing you to develop your knowledge and skills. This may include the building of hardware, installing and updating of new software, responding to staff IT requests and also the introduction of new technologies. This role is to start as soon as possible, initially on a temporary basis which is likely to last at least 2 months, and if you are looking for permanent work, you will have the right to apply. What you'll need to succeed In order to be successful in securing this position, you will possess recent IT support experience where you have worked in a customer-facing role supporting both hardware and software, while providing a high level of customer service. You will be available to start immediately and will also be willing to continue on an ongoing basis. Experience working in the education sector would be beneficial, as well as DBS on the update service. What you'll get in return In return, you will be paid a daily rate of between £120 and £140 dependent on experience, whilst having the opportunity to develop your skills through learning new technologies and systems in the education sector. You will be supported by a dedicated Hays Consultant who will continue to support you in finding contract work, and you will also have the opportunity to apply for a permanent position should you be seeking a more permanent role.
