- Managing devices including laptops, iPads, printers, AV equipment, and more
- Troubleshooting issues with Windows/Mac OS, hardware, and networking

- Familiarity with Active Directory, file permissions, and printer support
- Confident working independently and building relationships on-site
- A full UK driving licence and your own vehicle, essential for travel between schools
