We are looking to appoint an IT Support Technician Apprentice as soon as possible to work with the IT Department to provide an effective and efficient IT support service to all staff and pupils.
IT Department
There are two staff members within the IT Department: the Head of IT Services and the Apprentice IT Support Technician. The IT Department provides technical support to users and provides a strong technology infrastructure (network, hardware, and software) for others to connect, interact and perform their daily functions. This would be an ideal opportunity for someone who is keen to develop their IT skills and experience in a busy but friendly educational environment. Training will be given, so experience is not essential for this role.
Apprenticeship
The Level Three qualification for Digital Service Technicians has been developed for apprentices wishing to develop their careers in the field of digital technical support. The digital support pathway focuses on helping external customers in the effective use and access of digital systems. Digital support technicians are trained to maximise an organisation’s effective use of digital office technologies, digital communications (including collaborative technologies), productivity software and digital information systems and to achieve its objectives. This Level Three qualification involves 20% off-the-job training and lasts for fifteen months.
