We are seeking a motivated, curious and adaptable individual to join our ICT Support Team as an Apprentice IT Technician. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about technology and eager to develop a career in IT within an Innovative, forward-thinking, supportive school community.

As an Apprentice IT Technician, you will work alongside experienced professionals while completing a Level 3 ICT qualification over a 24-month period, gaining hands-on experience in a real-world environment where technology plays a vital role in teaching, learning and school life.

This is a fixed-term, term-time only role, working 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, for the duration of the apprenticeship. There may be opportunities to apply for permanent roles in the future, subject to organisational need.

The successful candidate will have a solid foundation in general hardware and software, a highly organised approach to work, and strong communication skills, both written and verbal. You will be confident working independently, while also valuing collaboration as part of a wider team. Previous experience in an ICT support role, or similar, would be welcomed but is not essential — what matters most is a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, and a commitment to developing your skills and supporting others.

At Horizon, we believe in creating opportunities, developing talent, and supporting people to thrive. This role is ideal for someone ready to take their first step into an IT career and grow with us.

Qualifications required are 4 GCSE’s including English and Maths (Grade 9 to 4, A* to C) and a NVQ Level 2 in an appropriate subject, or evidence of working towards.

The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. It is an offence to apply for a role in a school and/or working with children if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. Online searches will be carried out for all shortlisted candidates. This includes a search on the world wide web and relevant social media sites.
