Subsidised membership of the tennis, golf, angling and social clubs. The environment:
Harrow School is situated within a beautiful site in Harrow on the Hill, northwest London, and is one of the best-known schools in the world, with around 835 boys studying at Harrow. The IT network covers the whole School site: every boy has a computer, every teacher and some of the support staff have networked computers in their School accommodation (over a two-square-mile radius) and many support staff have a networked computer in their area of work. The IT department (a team of ten) is responsible for the development and maintenance of Harrow School’s computing, network, audio-visual and telephone facilities. There are over 1,500 PCs and mobile computers, spread over 60 buildings. Applications will be processed as they are received and we may interview suitable candidates before the closing date; therefore early application is advised. Equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome anyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community. The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service, and it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.
