Although this is a full-time position, flexible and reduced hours will be considered for the right candidate.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Moorlands Learning Trust Central IT Team as a Service Desk Operator. The successful candidate will provide first-line IT support to staff and students across the Trust's schools and wider network.
This role will be primarily based at our Benton Park School but may involve occasional work at any of our Trust schools.

The postholder will support the smooth day-to-day operation of teaching, learning, and business systems within a fast-paced educational environment, delivering a high standard of customer service across multiple schools.
Our overriding aim at MLT is to provide an exceptional comprehensive education for students from all cohorts and demographic backgrounds, to ensure that individual context does not affect a student's life chances. At MLT we are aspirational for every student within the Trust and are committed to achieving success and inspiring others to do so too.
We highly value our staff as our biggest asset and invest in their professional development to keep ourselves at the cutting edge of educational development, with staff wellbeing also being extremely important and strategically planned for.
This is an exciting time in the Trust's development as MLT looks to grow further, so that we can play a wider role in the development of our region and its future generations. This will mean that as the Trust grows over the coming years, the range of professional and career development opportunities and pathways for colleagues in our Trust schools will also grow, so that we can continue to recruit and retain an exceptional workforce.
As a valued member of our team we can offer you:
- A commitment to continued professional development
- An experienced, highly committed and supportive leadership team
- Free onsite parking
- Access to a market leading employee assistance programme with some fantastic wellbeing services such as counselling, physical health therapy services, financial advice and interactive self-help content
- Access to a wide range of discounts from the nation's leading retailer
