  The School is proud to hold a prestigious Athena SWAN Gold Award as well as Silver Investors in People accreditation. We appreciate the positive impact of flexible working and we aim to support all our staff to achieve a positive work-life balance that works for them.

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience of supporting IT in a work environment, to include both hardware diagnostics and software installation and support.
