Looking for all I.T. enthusiasts! We are seeking an I.T. Technician to join our busy I.T. team to support both staff and students within our school community.

This role would be suitable to a college/university leaver or an applicant who has previous experience within the I.T. field. It is desirable that the applicant has knowledge of Microsoft operating systems (10 & 11), be familiar with upgrading software, dealing with viruses/malware, setting up new users, projecting presentations onscreen for school events, amongst other things.
