Salary: NJC SCP Point 26, £32,909 to Point 39 £45,495
Contract type: Permanent
Start Date: ASAP
King Edward VI Kings Norton School for Boys is currently embarking on a rapid phase of significant investment and transition from traditional on-premises client-server-based computing to a Cloud-First approach using latest Microsoft 365 technology to enable the school to pursue its strategic objective to incorporate its 1:1 device strategy, accompanied with class-leading pedagogy and learning.
In keeping with this change, the role offered is different to that which would historically be associated with supporting a school network. There is a shift in bias towards enabling and supporting all users to fully exploit the potential that M365 has to offer as opposed to supporting systems. The focus of the role is to standardise and simplify the provision of IT systems and services to create an infrastructure that supports the learner by providing consistency to all users regardless of location or device and which also complies with the many statutory and advisory obligations that are incumbent upon a school IT system.
The successful candidate will possess a passion for information technology. They will be aware of current trends across the education sector especially where there is alignment between these and the school needs; will be instrumental in shaping the way that IT becomes embedded into the curriculum and administrative structures across the school.
