About the Role
The majority of your time will be spent at the Swan School, reporting into our IT Network manager. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be part of an exceptional growing comprehensive school, with IT systems installed as new in 2020, and the majority of our staff and students using chromebooks.
You will have previous service desk experience, and a strong desire to help our staff and students use IT to its full potential. As a result you will be able to offer a excellent customer service on first line support for requests and issues. You will be performing diagnosis procedures on hardware, peripherals and applications, and liasing with 3rd parties as required by the Network Manager or RLT IT lead.
As well as work at the Swan school, you will provide onsite and ticket support to local RLT primary schools and will advise these primary schools on all IT related matters

About the River Learning Trust
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better.

OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
