IT Technician

About Us

Amplify Education is a dynamic new multi-academy trust of 21 schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, formed through the thoughtful and planned merger of TiLA and CST. United by a shared vision, we are a bold voice for Bristol - committed to building belief in every young person, expanding opportunities, nurturing potential, and strengthening citizenship.

We are ambitious, reflective, and collaborative - driven to improve outcomes for young people while working together, learning from one another and continually strengthening our practice. If you are looking to make a real difference within a forward-thinking and supportive Trust, Amplify Education could be the place for you.

We invite you to join our IT Team. Working closely with Central Services teams and school leaders, the IT Team supports the management of technology infrastructure, devices, software and cybersecurity, helping to ensure colleagues and pupils have access to the tools they need to succeed.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an IT Technician to join our IT Team from 1 December 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. If you join us, a typical week in this role will see you providing remote and face to face technical support to allow the effective use of IT by both staff and students. You will also provide advice and training to improve both their understanding of IT and their experience of its use, diagnosing and troubleshooting problems as required. This means that you will need to be able to build positive relationships to clearly communicate technical issues to non-specialists and be able to guide staff and students through steps needed to resolve issues.

About You

You are likely to have gained the ability to communicate technical issues to non-specialists, a solid understanding of computer technology and experience in a customer facing / first line support role. You will bring initiative and the ability to diagnose / troubleshoot problems in a logical and focused manner.
