Role Overview
We are seeking a proactive IT Analyst to assist in the ongoing support of our Education systems. This is a permanent term role focused on maintaining, supporting, and improving the Synergy case management system and related digital tools used across Education.
You will work closely with colleagues across IT, Social Care, and Education to ensure systems are running smoothly, data is accurate, and user needs are met. While prior experience with education systems is welcome, it's not essential. We're looking for someone with a passion for IT and data-handling, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teams alike.
Key Responsibilities
You are confident with a strong interest in using data and technology to support public services. You have excellent problem-solving skills and can work well with a variety of users and stakeholders. While knowledge of education or Synergy is helpful, your ability to quickly learn and adapt is more important. You take pride in delivering quality support and improving systems that people rely on every day.
You Will Bring
