This looks like an awesome opportunity to lead the development of brand new system ... ahh the Blue sky dreams ....

I just wish it was a bit nearer to S Wales, don't think the missus would be best pleased if I upped and left!

Just a quick post so I get an email notif

A very interesting opportunity indeed.

Man, I'd enjoy that so much. Getting something off to a start from scratch is exactly my cup of tea.

Too bad the competition will be tough, I probably don't have the paper experience. I'm nowhere near Barnet, either.

Interesting, be willing to relocate for that ££

Damnit, if only this was 2 years in the future and I was ready to move on... Would have been perfect!

Having read the details for this post, all the design / specification for the academy ICT has already been done.

The system will be based around virtual desktops - "This will allow students more scope for innovation, creativity and curiosity in the ways ICT is used"

Its a very interesting project ...

LOL, that is exactly my attitude to practically every interesting job i come across atm. But that salary almost makes me want to take leave of my senses and upsticks....even to barnet.

[stevenewman]

Hmmmm, think I might just go for this one myself. (After failing to even get a reply from the Balndford one!)

Don't underestimate the ability of "the powers that be" to appoint a complete numpty - I've seen it so many times. In any case, just because the competition is great there is no need to write off your own chances - get in there and fight!

PS it's "creme de la creme" btw

grr, reminds me of a tech job that I went for. turns out the entire deal was sewn up before I walked in for the interview. The guy who was supporting the school from the LA had engineered the deal, and got the job. What takes the biscuit was that he then asked me for a how_to do his job!. Forget being good at what you do - get some ar*se sucking lessons (your SMT could probably help).
