About this Role

Shirebrook Academy is part of Aston Community Education Trust, a forward thinking and ambitious multi-academy trust, comprising of three senior and nine junior academies across the Rotherham, Sheffield and north Derbyshire areas.

Shirebrook Academy is at the heart of the Shirebrook community. We are committed to making a real difference to the lives of our young people and will provide excellent learning and enrichment opportunities for them throughout their time with us. To be able to achieve this, we need to have a team of dedicated and outstanding staff, who will contribute to our exceptional learning community.

We are seeking to appoint a Systems Administrator to work from Shirebrook Academy, who, along with the wider ACET IT team will provide full support in all aspects of ICT provision across all academies. The post-holder will assist the Network Manager in designing and implementing innovative IT systems/processes whilst ensuring full network capability is maintained at all times. The Systems Administrator will also contribute to a team of ICT technicians providing technical support for the use of all ICT hardware, software and systems across a variety of platforms and operating systems across the trust.

The post-holder will be based in Shirebrook Academy and will be required to travel to the other academies within the trust to ensure an efficient and effective service is provided in all ACET locations by the ICT team.

The successful candidates will:

Have a sound knowledge of Microsoft desktop and server operating systems including Windows Server, SCCM, SCOM and SQL Have a sound knowledge of Network architecture including wireless Have a good working knowledge of Virtual Server environments Have a working knowledge of IP based telephony systems Have a working knowledge of SAN and WAN technologies including security devices such as firewalls and web filtering systems Have experience of working with either disk based or cloud based backup systems Be able to work independently and with initiative Be conscientious, honest and reliable Be well-motivated and flexible Have a can-do approach Have good communication skills
This post is primarily suited to those already in a technical role but may be attractive to those who have already spent time as an IT Technician either in an education or commercial environment and are looking to further their career into a more technical role.

Safeguarding

ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the 'policy' section of our academy websites.

It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from working with children. This post will involve regular contact with children, and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are "spent" under the provisions of the Act. Any information that is "protected" under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared. Guidance on this can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974

Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Additional checks in relation to the Childcare Disqualification Regulations will be undertaken for successful candidates to junior academies. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.

Equality

ACET is committed to ensuring equality of opportunity throughout the recruitment process. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and your application will be assessed purely on your ability to do the job.

We undertake to make any 'reasonable adjustments' to a job or workplace to counteract any disadvantages a disabled person may face. Where required, we will make reasonable adjustments to the selection process for an applicant with a disability.
