JamesParker Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Hi Everyone Well I have worked in IT for over 20 years as an IT Manager the last 11 at a secondary school, so have seen it all from the beginning going from 60 computers to 600 with a 60k budget and excellent Ofsted and now back down to 300 with no budget and special measures , as budgets are cut and managed services take over, losing my technicians and leaving me on my own in the false belief it would be better and cheaper . So it’s time for me to bail ship, if anyone knows of anything going in the Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire area preferably at a school either secondary or primary it would be much appreciated if you could let me know I can start as soon as is required, though I know these jobs are like gold dust nowadays, may even be time for a career change ! Hoping someone can help thanks
hardtailstar Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Sorry I can help with any jobs that far up north! But have a look here Educational IT Jobs Regularly updated by members here. Good Luck!

Pobwall Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Hi James, Have you got LinkedIn? Would be helpful for me to put you in touch with some contacts for your next move!
JamesParker Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the replies, theoretically I can do immediate start as I am term time and break up in two weeks, so more or less as any notice time I have to give would fall during the summer holidays I’ll sort my LinkedIn as soon as I get chance , I have to be careful as I have been trolled by staff at my current school posting on here - this is my third account with a different pseudonym name, been on here for over 8 years !

PotNoodleTech Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Sorry to hear that it's gone so far downhill in your place. Edugeek will help you find something!! :)
elsiegee40 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 And @witch’s cv magic is legendary. Send her a PM and she should be able to help
NewFormz Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Have you considered staying in IT but getting out of the education sector? I've recently got a new job in the private sector as my job had got so bad. I don't start there properly for a few more weeks but having done a few Saturdays with my new team I can already tell it was the correct decision to make.

jayemm Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Is this any good? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/educational-jobs/196828-nexus-associates-technical-consultant.html
GC75 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Just out of interest are we allowed to advertise ourselves as looking for a new job, as I am in that current situation myself?
elsiegee40 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Dont see why not Just not in the Educational IT jobs bit perhaps? I’m seeking advice from @Dos_Box on where these are best placed 1
