tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 'lo folks, Looking for a "Tom's Assistant" - widely varied tasks from network admin, to answering network questions posed by our tech team. Core skills: * network admin * Comfortable with windows server environment * Doesn't hate linux You will have opportunity to learn: * VoIP * SmoothWall * Network Security principles * Linux systadmin * Hacking perl for fun/profit You may also: * Get to visit customer sites * Have input into the product line * Get to do BETT & Other shows * Have to do rubbish jobs like cat5 cabling Decent pay, based in west leeds. Details sketchy at present This will be a lot like School IT - loads of incredibly varied things to do and not much time to do them! Get in touch if you are interested. As usual, if we make a successful, agent-free recruitment through EduGeek, we'll donate some (more) money to the coffers. PS. There are still possible openings in Southampton and Leeds for other kinds of jobs in Development, Support, Sales & Admin, so if you are interested, or know someone who might be, give me a call - cant promise anything immediate, but ist always worth knowing!
plexer Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Grr can't you transplant your whole operation to be closer to me I'd love it but not going to relocate to leeds. Ben
Gatt Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Hmm.. Live in Rochdale.. Not too far but would mean trains! Might be interested Whats the pay
Geoff Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I'm from Lancashire. I'm not allowed to go to Yorkshire.
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Ben, We *used* to be all over the country. "Back in the day" we had people in Coventry, St. Albans, Glasgow, Leeds, Southampton... but we have since rationalised. Our Support Manager did relocate from Denmark, mind. Go on, you know you want to live in Leeds - its great (if a bit cold!)
Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Whats the pay? Looking for a new job atm and leeds aint too far from me
Dos_Box Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I'm from Lancashire. I'm not allowed to go to Yorkshire. You're from Kirkham. You're not allowed to go anywhere!
russdev Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Some nice offices in Leicestershire You forgot to add to job requirements the need to be completely mad.. Russ
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Pay is dependant on the calibre of the candidate - if it's someone who needs training in almost everything, then it'll be entry-level-tech-ish (15?) going up to whatever we can afford if you're really good
Ric_ Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Some nice offices in Leicestershire You forgot to add to job requirements the need to be completely mad.. and a love of home-made hats!
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Pay is dependant on the calibre of the candidate - if it's someone who needs training in almost everything, then it'll be entry-level-tech-ish (15?) going up to whatever we can afford if you're really good As stated by those who saw us at BETT, you may have to be... a bit odd, and a propensity towards home-made hats is a bonus
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Did I mention that lurking on edugeek is part of the employee spec?
Diello Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Sounds like a fun job... though would mean relocating (or you lot moving to the south!)... and would depend what the salary ceiling was Keeping up with Gavin in the pub is an interesting part of the JD I'd imagine!
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Actually it's more keeping Gavin *out* of the pub
Dos_Box Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 You'd really earn your wages trying to do that!
Joedetic Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I don't suppose you'd be taking industrial placement student's for such a position? I've got an industrial placement year starting in July 2008 running until September 2009 and that job sounds awesome!
tom_newton Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 @Joe - i'd consider it, actually. Would have to work out a few bits... but talk to me, we may find a use for ya Drop me an email - i'm gonna be out of the office til monday now, so anyone who mails and gets no reply - thats why
Joedetic Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 @tom_newton I've sent you an e-mail. Tried to explain my situation and past experience in the education sector etc.
john Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I'm from Lancashire. I'm not allowed to go to Yorkshire. I'll let you in Geoff if you let me into Lancashire hows that for a deal You're from Kirkham. You're not allowed to go anywhere! Why leave Kirkham, you've got Mrs Kirkhams cheeses what more do you need (note I dont like Lancashire cheese so no good for me) Anyway to the point Sounds not bad role Do you mind non-linux people as I dont do Linux at present, but do Windows very well
kylewilliamson Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 if only this one was at southampton! nevermind..
tom_newton Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 @john, I positively prefer windows people. I have linux skills a-plenty - i'm looking to complement that a Windows-guru who is willing to try a hand at linux and learn a few new things? Ideal. @kyle - there may still be positions open in soton, not sure if they've filled the tech support post yet (dont think so) and theres definitely going to be more coming up. As we expand, we're having to pick up more engineers...
john Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 @Tom_Newton, Thanks sounds nice, you have e-mail
tom_newton Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 @John - i'll get back to you monday when i return to the office.
