    OK we are definitely live with this job now, large school about 1400 pupils, all windows network, plus sims, looking to rollout parents gateway and a texting product, but apart from that just good all round network manager skills required and asap Will be a permanent role at the end of it but we do need to start asap so the contract is not really suitable for anyone in full time employment already i am afraid Probably aroun £120-140 per day (perm salary is around £28-30)
  6. Will_Townsend
    i think given the CRB is in effect obsolute the day after it is cleared the ISA check which is updated as soon as any child protection issues are flagged up will give schools a better sense of security than the current method is what I am trying to get at with that statement
  7. Will_Townsend
    technically they are only as good as the day they are released by the police but its all about managing risk until the new ISA registration numbers come out (what should have been done originally) This employer will accept CRB's as long as they are enhanced and under 3 years old. The agency is in effect the employer and it will be on their heads to do further risk assessments and hopefully another CRB check but in the interim the employer would allow the agency staff to start work at the school there are some councils who will not have any engineers on site unless the council has processed the CRB in effect restricting emplyment to a waiting time of possibly 4-8 weeks or someone who has worked through the council before on one of their CRB's

    Me again, I need for one of my Major BSF clients a technician who is willing to work on a field basis around its school clients in East and North London area's. Ideally I need someone who can start on the 30th March and work for a year on contract full time (@£120 a day). Failing that i'd be interested (as always) in talking to anyone who can provide temporary ICT engineer skills (on a continuing basis) in the same area's. Technology wise it is various to be honest, could be CC3, CC4 networks, sims, vanilla networks etc etc what is most important is being able to get to the bottom of technical issues quickly, excellent work ethics and communication skills CRB is a must, at least within the last 3 years to get started thereafter renewed checks will be done I am afraid the 1 year contract will be unsuitable for permanent people looking to move on however if you are looking to move on anyway give me a try and i'll try to line up at least 1-3 months worth of work which is almost 99% likely to extend (or I'll find work for you elsewhere) I am always short good engineers so there's always contract work out there If you recommend someone I didn't already know I later place for more than 3 months I will pay £200 commission email [email protected] or call 0845 686 0690 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************0845 686 0690******end_of_the_skype_highlighting or view Education Support Professionals

  18. Will_Townsend
    I think some schools buy into half a days service and some to a full day, sorry I can't be much more help than that without giving away the rosta. Travel between sites is expensable though
  19. Will_Townsend
    although i think he pays for travel from school to school he wouldn't pay for transport from there, unless you are able to do a short term contract whilst he looks for a more perm guy money wise normal salaries for this role are around £20-23K dependent on experience probably 80-100 per day for temp does that help?

    I have, in the past, been mostly southern for pure IT roles although thats not that I would turn the work down, its just harder to develop a customer and candidate base when you aren't on patch. I have been truly UK wide when it comes to mis support people. Being a small new company i'd welcome anything:D
