IT Support Engineer

Norwich

£32,000 - £34,000 + Enhanced Pension + 36 Days Holiday + Ongoing Training & Development + Long-Term Progression Opportunities

Are you an experienced IT professional with strong Microsoft and infrastructure knowledge looking to step into a leadership role where you can combine hands-on technical work with project delivery and team support?

Would you like to play a key role in a growing Multi-Academy Trust, supporting schools and local communities while contributing to major digital transformation and cloud migration projects?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established and expanding Multi-Academy Trust based in Norwich. The Trust is committed to delivering exceptional support to its schools and has built a culture centred around professionalism, teamwork, honesty and kindness, with outstanding relationships between pupils and staff across the organisation.

As the Trust continues to grow, significant investment is being made into its technology infrastructure and digital strategy. Ongoing projects include cloud migration initiatives, infrastructure improvements and the continued development of modern IT systems across the Trust's secondary and primary schools. This provides an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys technical leadership and driving positive change.

In this role, you will support the IT Services Manager while acting as the technical lead and escalation point for the wider IT team. You will provide support across approximately six to seven partner primary schools, leading on installations, infrastructure projects and strategic IT initiatives. You will also mentor and support two IT Technicians while ensuring high levels of service are delivered across the Trust.

The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background gained within a senior support, infrastructure or field engineering position. You will possess excellent knowledge of Microsoft technologies, networking and hybrid cloud environments, and enjoy working collaboratively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Previous experience leading projects or supporting colleagues would be highly advantageous, while experience within education would be beneficial but is not essential.
