ASSISTANT IT MANAGER 
(Isle of Wight)

​Permanent - Salary up to £30,000 p/a (dependant on experience &  skills)
 
We are now recruiting for a confident and capable Assistant IT Manager to join a  team of IT professionals based on the Isle of Wight,  delivering support, administration and maintenance of all back-office IT and  EPOS systems for a  leading national  retailer.     As the leading  brand in their  industry, this business has been growing in strength for decades, and now boasts an impressive front end retail system, as well  as a slick wholesale operation. From customer care to quality control, every element of this business is tied together with IT systems that require constant monitoring and care.

This team    adapts to the changing needs of the business,  so the successful applicant will need to be a great 'all rounder' rather than a specialist in one specific area of IT support.  From installing new hardware onsite to remotely  offering support  as required,  the priorities of the IT department change from day to day so a flexible and adaptable approach to work, along with a skill for prioritisation will be key.

Duties will include: 
  • Technical support for internal staff and  other end users 
  • Configuration,  installation and testing of ICT equipment across the business
  • Monitoring and administration of servers and systems , running monthly reports
  • Monitoring and administration of network equipment such as switches, routers and Wi-Fi access points
  • Monitoring, administration and remedial action for backup and antivirus system
  • Support with systems development and testing
  • Database administration


Due to the responsible  nature of the role we do require an individual who can   confidently and independently    troubleshoot and problem solve, so it is vital that applicants can demonstrate experience in the following areas; 
 
  • Windows server and desktop administration (Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019, Windows 10)
  • Active Directory administration
  • Virtualisation administration (Hyper-V or similar)
  • SQL server administration (Microsoft SQL)
  • Office 365 general knowledge and administration
  • IT networking experience (TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs)
  • Applicants with POS  systems experience will have an advantage.

This role will require working both remotely and on location around the UK and occasionally overseas.   Because of this, applicants must be prepared to undertake independent  travel  fairly regularly (potentially as often as once a month).  Due to the  remote office location, applicants will also need to have  their own motorised transport  as there are no suitable public transport options available.
 
What's on offer? 
  • A competitive salary of up to £30,000 per annum
  • 35 hour week, 9-5 Monday to Friday  (with occasional out of hours / weekend work or 'on call' duties)
  • The opportunity to travel  regularly    within the UK and overseas
  • A diverse workload  in a supportive and friendly team 
  • Ongoing professional development and promotion opportunities
  • Stable and   secure  employment on a permanent basis 
  • Becoming part of a well established and respected  brand

To be considered for this position please apply with an up to date CV and a  short cover note, introducing  yourself and stating your key skills.
