Interim IT Technician in High School Blackpool
Your new company
A forward‑thinking high school in Blackpool is looking for an enthusiastic IT Technician to provide short‑term cover during a period of staff absence. You’ll be joining a supportive team within a large multi‑school trust that uses a blend of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, giving you exposure to a varied technical environment. The multi-academy trust also has upcoming summer projects across nearby sites, so there may be opportunities for additional work into August.
Your new role
You’ll work 22 June – 17 July, Monday to Friday 08:00–16:00, shadowing the existing IT technician in week one. In week two, you’ll work alongside another senior technician before stepping into a sole IT Technician role for 2 weeks, with support available when needed.
Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will include:
- First‑line support to staff and students — password resets, account issues, helpdesk queries, walk‑ins, troubleshooting
- Supporting a mixed environment: Microsoft 365 for local systems, Google for email and shared drives
- Printer support, toner replacement and basic hardware fixes
- Providing calm, clear technical help to staff and students
What you'll need to succeed
The school is looking for someone who is:
- A reliable communicator who can support staff confidently
- Punctual, organised and able to work unsupervised once trained.
- Experienced in 1st line (and ideally some 2nd line) school‑based IT support
- Comfortable with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and general troubleshooting
- Able to commit to the full assignment period 22/06–17/07 (initially)
- A driver is preferred but not essential.
What you'll get in return
A supportive induction with shadowing and hands‑on guidance
The chance to step into a sole‑technician role with backup available
Experience across both Google and Microsoft school environments
Potential additional project work in August
A friendly, collaborative school environment where your contribution will be valued
A dedicated consultant at Hays to provide support with compliance, payments and future opportunities.
