The opportunity

Are you a skilled IT professional with a passion for leading technical projects and implementing cutting-edge solutions?

We are looking for an experienced IT Technical Lead to join our team, working closely with the Head of IT to oversee the design and implementation of IT technologies. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring our IT solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with business objectives, while also enjoying getting hands-on with implementation.

This role requires deep technical expertise in Active Directory, Azure, Microsoft 365, networking, security best practices, and disaster recovery. Experience with hypervisor technologies and Citrix application hosting is highly desirable but not essential.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy mentoring team members while solving complex technical challenges, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact.

You will be responsible for ensuring all IT infrastructure and cloud environments are optimised, secure, and aligned with industry best practices. In addition to supporting the Head of IT, you will work closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver high-quality IT solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Project Design and Implementation – Leading the design and execution of IT projects, ensuring alignment with organisational goals.
• Infrastructure Management – Overseeing on-premise infrastructure and cloud environments, including Active Directory, Azure, and Microsoft 365.
• Disaster Recovery Planning – Designing and maintaining comprehensive business continuity plans.
• Application Hosting – Providing technical support for Citrix environments and other hosted applications.
• Networking and Security – Designing and maintaining secure network architectures, ensuring compliance with security best practices.
• Technical Leadership – Mentoring junior team members and staying updated with emerging technologies.
• Documentation and Reporting – Maintaining comprehensive technical documentation and providing regular project updates.

If you are passionate about IT leadership and looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, we are ready to support your growth and development. As you develop, so will we – and we’re excited to see where we can go together.
