We are looking for an ambitious and talented IT Operations Manager to lead the delivery of IT services across Francis Holland School, Sloane Square and Francis Holland Preparatory School, whilst supporting the wider Trust in our strategic aims. Whether you're an experienced IT leader looking for a fresh challenge or a high-performing Senior Engineer, Technical Lead or Infrastructure Specialist ready to take the next step into management, this role offers the perfect opportunity to make a real impact.
Working closely with our Director of Technology, you'll play a key role in delivering reliable, secure and innovative technology services that support exceptional teaching and learning. You'll have the opportunity to lead a skilled dedicated team, drive service improvements, deliver technology projects and help influence the future direction of IT across our family of schools.
This is far more than a traditional operational IT role. It's a chance to combine hands on technical expertise with leadership, strategic thinking and project delivery in an environment where technology is genuinely valued as a driver of excellence.
As IT Operations Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of IT services across the schools, ensuring systems and support services are secure, reliable and responsive to the needs of staff and pupils. You'll lead a small, dedicated team while remaining close enough to the day to day operation to provide technical guidance and hands-on support when required.
Please note: We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a sufficient number of suitable applications. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible. We are managing this recruitment directly and are not engaging agency support for this role. Any unsolicited CVs submitted by recruitment agencies will be deemed direct applications, and no fee will be payable.
