More:

We are seeking a hands-on IT Manager to take ownership of the technology behind a busy, growing business. This is not a people-management role; instead, you will be our internal technical lead, working independently across infrastructure, Microsoft 365, networks, security and support while also supporting client site installations. The role offers genuine ownership, visible day-to-day impact, variety across modern technology including Ubiquiti networking equipment and Microsoft 365, and the opportunity to lead upgrades, migrations and practical improvement projects. We offer full-time hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility to support occasional client installations or critical work outside standard hours.
