IT Engineer

Overview The Pointer School (TPS) is an independent prep and pre-prep school in Blackheath, South-East London. The school provides an outstanding education to 350 pupils, supported by 80 staff. The school uses Google Workspace for its core business services. All pupils and staff have access to an iPad on a 1:1 basis. Staff work from a mixture of Windows PCs and MacBooks. Devonshire House Preparatory School (DHP) is a thriving, co-educational independent school set across three Victorian sites in the heart of Hampstead. Renowned for its intellectual and creative learning environment, the school combines academic rigour with strong pastoral care, providing a premium, well-rounded education to around 500 pupils aged 2 to 13. Devonshire House has recently upgraded the network infrastructure across all sites and all staff and pupils have embraced Microsoft 365 through an all-Windows environment. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of two forward-thinking independent schools that values innovation, creativity, and the use of technology to drive educational success. The Role This is a full-time, permanent position shared between the 2 schools. The IT engineer will have to be able to travel to each school as per an agreed schedule (e.g. 2 days in one school and 3 days to the other). Flexibility to change the schedule may be required depending on the schools’ needs. For escalations beyond second-line support, both schools have access to IT leadership. The role will report to the Bursar and Head of Digital Learning at DHP and the Bursar at TPS. There is a dotted-line to Dukes Education’s Head of IT. This will provide additional oversight, governance and opportunities for collaboration with the broader IT teams across the group. This structure ensures that while the IT Engineer is the first point of contact for all IT matters onsite, they are supported by a wider ecosystem for complex technical issues and strategic initiatives.
