MLK Search is supporting this all-through Academy in Erith and is seeking to appoint an ICT Technician to provide an outstanding IT support service to the staff, students, and trainee teachers.

17. Liaising with the relevant SLT and Federation IT Service Managers to ensure that all specific local and Federation requirements are met
18. Updating and maintaining the IT assets in both locations as listed in the CMDB
