IT Support Technician or Senior IT Support Technician, Near Bristol and Bath

The following post will be advertised on Monday on http://www.futuralearning.co.uk but I wanted to let people know about it before the weekend.

 

We are looking for someone to cover a maternity leave so this is a fixed term appointment, though we have extended it to 12 months. It's quite possible that the post will be extended into a permanent post. We are also willing to consider a term-time only appointment if that would encourage an application. If you have any questions, please reply to this post or email me [email protected].
