This is an exceptional opportunity for a proactive IT professional with a commitment to technical excellence and service to join a dynamic educational setting known for its pioneering approach to technology.

As a recognised Microsoft Showcase School and recipient of the Edtech50 award, the Royal Hospital School is at the forefront of educational technology in the UK. Our commitment to innovation is reflected in our one-to-one Microsoft Surface Scheme, which supports personalised learning for every pupil. The IT Manager will play a pivotal role in sustaining this momentum, ensuring that our cutting-edge facilities and systems continue to support and inspire our school community.

Collaborating with the Head of Digital Learning, they will champion the introduction and ongoing use of innovative learning technologies, fostering a vibrant and responsive learning environment. Developing long-term investment plans and managing the department’s budget, including financial forecasting, will be key as they lead the department’s strategic and operational IT initiatives.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in IT operations—from service delivery to IT support management—and a proactive approach to budgeting, risk management, and strategic planning.

Familiarity with UK GDPR and data protection practices is also required, as the IT Manager will serve as the school’s Data Protection Advisor, providing guidance on compliance and training staff as needed.

This role requires a skilled communicator with excellent organisational abilities and a talent for fostering collaborative and efficient working practices. With the ability to build strong working relationships across the school community and proficiency in Microsoft 365, the successful candidate will make a lasting impact on our school’s technology landscape.
