I believe my school does indeed have policies against hiring ex/current students. I'm fine getting a DBS check as long as I don't have to pay for it (Don't really know how it works, think it's via the police?) Also, I know that the IT Manager who works at my Primary is on EduGeek as I believe I saw a pic of our school on here. Not sure if I should @ mention him here. Actually had a little chat with my English teacher about something on the lines on this and I think he said Teachers aren't allowed to have any sort of relationship other than a teaching one for at least 5 years after the student has left the school. Not sure if that's the law or school policy.

My current school already has a IT Team so don't think they would need my help. They are also aware of my skills so I feel like they would ask me if they needed help. Pretty sure it would be a major conflict of interest as if I was doing imaging they'd have to give me the password for the BIOS and the imaging account (Not saying I would, but they could assume I'd misuse it). An AD password is easy to change but having to change all the BIOS passwords after me knowing it would be a pain. I've heard from a few people that I only need to be background checked to work with students unsupervised. Again, like you said chances are students won't be in during half term anyways. I'll maybe have a word with my head of IT next year but assuming they won't want anything done.

Where about are you based? You in Liverpool as well?

Hi all. Sorry if this is the wrong forum (If it is, mods please move it), but I'm interested in maybe doing some small jobs for schools/institutions who need an extra hand over half term (Starting next year, not doing any Xmas work!!). I could do new PC setups, MDT deployment / imaging, server upgrades or just general IT support (Showing people how to turn on a projector, etc). I'm 16 and currently still in school but do have a small software development job. I'll be willing to do small / odd jobs during half term in exchange for a job / character reference if possible. My skills include: Advanced Knowledge of Active Directory. Some basic knowledge of Powershell and VBA scripting. Lots of expertise in MDT and WDS. Some experience in Exchange 2010/13/16. Lots of experience in Citrix, RDS and VMware Horizon. Experience in Hyper-V, ESXI and VCenter. I obviously have no experience whatsoever with EdTech specific software as I'm unable to acquire that for testing. I'm looking to build up my skills and possibly acquire some actual server hardware early next year (So far been doing all my testing in Azure. Getting quite expensive!). If anyone is interested in this PM me. I'll also be able to work during term time in the summer as Year 11's leave early. Since I'm under 18 I presume I don't need to be background checked. If you do PM me please say who you work for as if anyone from my school replies that would be a clear conflict of interest. Cheers, Adam. Edit: Forgot to mention, I live in Liverpool, UK so looking for work around Crosby. Can do remote work as well.
