The role will be primarily based at Ormiston Bridge Academy but it is vital that the successful candidate is able and willing to travel across all of our London sites. The role of IT Technician includes first and some second line technical support, with the opportunity to be involved in the implementation of our cloud-first programme.

- Experienced in providing IT support in a workplace environment.
- Skilled in troubleshooting hardware, software, and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, printers, mobiles).
- Confident using Microsoft 365, Azure, Teams, SharePoint, and Active Directory.
- Able to explain technical information clearly to non-technical users.
