Thriving multi-academy trust seeking a permanent Mobile IT Engineer for schools in Manchester.

Your new company

This Catholic Academy Trust is a rapidly growing organisation dedicated to delivering excellent education across Greater Manchester, while supporting school improvement and serving its local communities. Following substantial expansion to 32 schools, with further growth planned in the coming years, the Trust is focused on appointing the right people to sustain its success and preserve its strong, healthy culture. The Trust is deeply committed to staff wellbeing and development. It is often described as “the healthiest organisation I have worked in,” and recent feedback from placements strongly reinforces this reputation. By working collaboratively as a central team alongside its family of schools, the Trust fosters professional growth, shares best practice, and builds supportive relationships across the network. This collective approach ensures that every member of staff feels valued and empowered to contribute to the shared goal of improving outcomes for all children. Within this structure, the central IT team is well-established, with a strong core in place. They are now looking to appoint dedicated and committed individuals who will help deliver the highest standard of IT support across the Trust and play a key role in its continued success.

Your new role

Reporting to the IT Operations Manager and working closely with the wider central IT team, you will play a key role in delivering high‑quality IT support across both primary and secondary schools in Manchester. Based on site in a school five days a week, you will provide first‑line support to staff and students, manage and respond to helpdesk tickets efficiently, assist with the installation and maintenance of hardware, software and bespoke technologies, and contribute to the delivery of ongoing trust‑wide IT projects.

As a Mobile IT Engineer, you will become an integral part of an established and supportive team committed to delivering an exceptional level of IT service—ultimately enhancing the quality of teaching and learning across classrooms. With the Trust continuing to grow, this role will naturally evolve, offering exposure to new technologies and providing valuable opportunities to further develop your own technical skill set. Please note this role is based on site 5 days a week across Greater Manchester and you will need to have your own vehicle and a valid UK driving licence.

What you'll need to succeed

In order to be successful in securing this position, you must possess first line IT support experience, having worked in the education sector in either a school, trust or managed service provider. You will have experience working on Microsoft 365, providing an efficient service to end users in an educational setting and have a real passion for delivering a high level of service in this rewarding education sector.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will receive a competitive salary of between £29,000–£32,000, dependent on experience, along with an attractive and continually evolving benefits package. This includes access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, between 26 and 31 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays) depending on continuous service, and a range of lifestyle and wellbeing benefits. The Trust also offers a 35‑hour working week, further reinforcing the healthy, balanced working environment it is proud to promote. As a growing organisation, there will be ongoing opportunities for training and professional development, enabling you to expand your skills, deepen your knowledge, and progress your career.
