We have advertised for this role before but we need to be more relaxed perhaps with our requirements. We need a technician who has a good understanding of the basics of school networks and the sims system. SIMS is essential and not just the install on workstations but some sys admin and a reasonable grasp of core modules and where school, mostly primaries, often need support. The contract period is for 6 months, covering helpdesk calls from a range of users and term time only but it should turn into a permanent position assuming all parties are happy in the summer The contract rate is between £10-15ph and the perm salary will correspond to that. My client is looking to hire asap although will wait a month if necessary. Location is easily accessible to the north circular, M25 and M11 and is close to edmonton in greater london my address is [email protected] or pm me

It was our pleasure, nice to see you all and definitely do it again next year ;0
