Newcastle High School for Girls (NHSG) is seeking to appoint an ICT Support Technician on a full-time, full-year basis. NHSG is the leading school for girls in the north of England and part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) – the largest network of independent girls’ schools in the UK.

 

The ICT Support Technician will be joining the Technical Support Team responsible for the management, installation, maintenance, availability and integrity of the School’s ICT systems. They will work under the direction of the ICT Operations Manager and will be dedicated to providing the best possible support for staff and students alike. They will help to manage the School’s ICT assets and budget. They will work closely with colleagues and students to ensure users get the best possible benefit from the systems and services the school provides.

 

As the school is part of the GDST, the work of the Technical Support Team also supports the needs of our group of schools. Systems must be developed and maintained in-line with the operational requirements of both NHSG and the wider group of schools, so the post holder will also have to consider the broader needs of the whole network.
