## About the Role

We're looking for someone with solid experience in IT infrastructure and network management who is comfortable getting involved technically but also enjoys supporting and developing others.

Ideally, you'll have some experience supervising or managing IT staff, along with a good understanding of servers, networking, cyber security and general IT operations.

You'll be working closely with the Head of ICT, supporting the day-to-day running of the department and helping to maintain and improve the IT infrastructure across the organisation.

It's a varied, hands-on role where you'll be involved in everything from network and server management to cyber security, infrastructure upgrades and supporting the wider IT team.

The role will involve:

 * Supporting the Head of ICT with managing and developing the IT team.

 * Maintaining and improving networks, servers and IT infrastructure.

 * Overseeing cyber security, backups and disaster recovery.

 * Managing IT projects, upgrades and improvements.

 * Working with external suppliers and contractors.

 * Helping ensure IT services run smoothly across the organisation.
