GLF Schools seeks to recruit a pro-active and highly effective Infrastructure Manager to join our IT Team on a 12 month fixed term contract, to ensure that the Trusts organisation systems are fully operational and fit for purpose.

Your Opportunity

Working in collaboration with the Head of Technical Delivery and the wider IT services team, the Infrastructure Managers role is to build resilience across the Technical Delivery Team, taking responsibility for the planning, installation, maintenance, and upgrade of IT systems and personnel.

This is a hybrid role - you will be expected to be able to travel to all the schools within the Trust as required (spanning across Banbury, Wokingham, Camberley, Epsom, Banstead, Croydon, Wandsworth, Caterham, Redhill, Crawley and Horsham), therefore having your own transport is essential (expenses will be covered).
