Job Type: Full Time/Permanent
Relevant Work Experience: 5+​ years
Education Level: Professional
Career Level: Manager (Manager/​Supervisor of Staff)
Salary: 25,000.​00 - 25,000.​00 GBP per year

Our new Academy opens on 1st September 2009 in the existing buildings of Ise Community College and Henry Gotch Primary School.

The Brooke Weston Partnership Director of ICT will need a competent, experienced, dedicated Network Manager to take the lead at the Kettering Science Academy site, ensuring that the integrated network delivers its day-to-day objectives of enabling teaching, management and administration. In the educational environment, interpersonal skills are paramount, but the network solutions are still as mission-critical as in a commercial setting.

The ideal candidate will be qualified to MCSE or CCNA level and have a proven track record of successful IT service management in a customer facing environment. However, consideration will be given to candidates possessing a strong service-orientated attitude and good IT management experience that is not backed by formal qualifications.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with high aspirations, keen to contribute to the ICT vision of a new and innovative type of school.

Responsible for: All Academy ICT support staff

Core Purpose

The Network Manager is responsible for:

Managing and supporting the work of all ICT Technicians

Delivering the outcomes of the Academy ICT vision statement in collaboration with the Partnership Director of ICT

Providing a rapid response service to all end users

Maintaining network security protocols

Managing the Academy website and VLE within the Partnership framework

If the salary was a tad higher and my existing NM job wasn't as fun as it is I'd have probably gone for this one.

I can honestly say that working within Northamptonshire is fantastic, people like Ken (wagnerk), Tony, and many many others who will make themselves known I'm sure is just one of the pleasures.

The Brooke Weston Partnership have a strong history of IT development and are a good bunch to work with. This will be their 3rd Academy (and a through school to boot) and well worth people going for. THe Network Managers at the other two academies are good people to work with. The Academy will be completely separate to the LA (the same way Corby Business Academy is) with regards to operational IT and infrastructure but the invite to local IT Manager / Support provider meetings is always open to anyone working in education in Northants. So, the person would not be working with me in the same way that other folks have / do (kmount, wagnerk, techyphil, etc) but there are some interesting things coming up in Northants that they will be able to get involved in.

Best of luck to those who apply.
