Job description

Your new company
This thriving multi-academy trust has a head office based in Bury, with schools across North Manchester and, due to continued further growth, they have approached Hays seeking an IT Engineer to join the team on a permanent basis. The trust has undergone a significant period of growth already, and it's therefore important that the right individuals are appointed to ensure the success of the growth and high performance of the trust. The IT Team has grown over the past 2 years and Hays has placed a number of specialists within the organisation, continuously receiving excellent feedback from them regarding the collaborative and supportive culture present, as well as further development opportunities available.
Your new role
As an IT Engineer for the trust, you will be reporting to the Service desk lead and becoming an integral part of the wider IT team, which has been established for over 2 years, working alongside experienced IT Engineers. You will be based in secondary schools in the Bury and Rochdale areas but may sometimes be required to travel to Bolton and Salford, where you will provide IT support to end users, ensuring that a high level of IT service is provided to support teaching and learning. As an IT Engineer, you will provide IT support to maintain and develop the school's desktop and mobile devices, providing technical support to both staff and pupils around the use of IT equipment and working with the wider IT team. You will provide support with hardware, software, bespoke educational technologies and also support with the roll-out of IT projects which may relate to upgrades, migrations or the introduction of new systems. This will also require you to liaise with third-party vendors around the use of specialist technologies and platforms, allowing you to further enhance your skills and knowledge.

What you'll need to succeed
In order to be successful in securing this position, you must have prior experience in IT Support roles, ideally with specific experience working in the education sector in a school, trust, college or education-based MSP. You will be adapted to working in face-to-face support environments, working closely with end users and will have excellent communication and rapport building skills. You will have knowledge of Microsoft 365, as well as other technologies unique to the education sector. As this is a role where you will be based in different schools, you must have a valid driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will be joining a growing organisation where you will have the opportunity to further develop your own skills, while being an integral part of the success story of the trust. You will join a welcoming team where you will be fully supported upon joining the organisation, and you will work closely with the IT Team. You will receive a salary of between 31,000 and 34,000 based on experience, as well as an excellent benefits package which includes a local government pension scheme, a 28-day holiday (plus bank), free parking and various other benefits.
