Do you want to have an impact on future generations? Do you want to be able to influence learning technology to help growing minds expand? Join EDIT Ltd as an IT Support Technician and be that guiding light that helps teachers mould the future and inspire the pupils to attain their goals.

We have a full-time opportunity for an IT support technician to provide onsite support to schools in the West Midlands. You will be expected to handle all the technology issues within a school and be able to advise them on how they can improve in making teaching and learning easier.

You will need to have experience working with servers, desktops, networks, broadband, VOIP and be confident working with unfamiliar software. You could be asked to resolve any technical issue. Just as important is the ability to communicate with people of varying abilities.

As travel is involved, you will require your own transport. We pay mileage covered for work purposes.

When not onsite you would be expected to be on helpdesk duties, responding to tickets logged by the schools and other clients.

You will be expected to undertake other tasks that are pertinent to business operations.
