38 hours per week, 52 weeks per year

Full Time, Permanent

Immediate start

We are recruiting a Technology Support Officer to provide whole school support in the use of technology to aid teaching and learning, and more generally technology to aid running the school. You will be based at Greensward Academy with travel to other sites in Essex.

This is a brand new role that will see us attempt to bridge the gap between school based IT engineering and teaching, a role that is deemed particularly critical given the opportunity to leverage and integrate the use of technology into the running of the school post pandemic.

This role is hands-on and in school, working alongside staff and students to support them in and around lessons and all elements of usable technology. There is however also a strategic element to the role, working with senior leaders to input into school strategy and representing the Trust wide technology strategy at school level.

Closing date: 10th July 2022

Interviews will commence shortly after the closing date.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive an overwhelming response. All candidates are advised to refer to the job description and person specification before making an application.

We are committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate will be required for all posts. This post will be subject to enhanced checks as part of our Prevent Duty.
