Are ESS trying to make it harder to migrate away from to SIMS?
wellsway replied to Ditto's topic in MIS Systems
We were somewhere in the middle. There were training needs and the migration was a "project" (this was for 15 schools) but neither were onerous. -
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].

Unfortunately, there’s an error in this advert which is actually for a 0.5 role (2.5 days per week). The salary will be pro rata, ie. approximately £10-11k. We will get the advert corrected on eteach as soon as possible. Having said that, we are interested in expressions of interest if you’re interested in the role if it were more or less than our ideal 2.5 days per week. Richard May Trust IT Manager
