The Governors are seeking to appoint an IT Technician to join our hardworking, committed and enthusiastic IT Support team.
The IT Technician's role is to support the IT Support Team in the day-to-day delivery of high-quality IT services to the school. Working as part of a small team supporting a Secondary school and Sixth form college in Waterlooville and two primary schools in Portsmouth, our team supports 2,000 users and 1,200 windows devices, network infrastructure, printers, photocopiers and classroom equipment as well as CCTV, telephone system and sound and lighting equipment.
If you are a Catholic, you will understand the distinctiveness of Catholic schools such as Oaklands and this will be attractive to you. You do not have to be a Catholic to work at Oaklands; the Governors welcome applications from candidates of differing faith backgrounds or none who can be supportive of the school ethos.
About The Role
The principal responsibilities of the IT Technician are to provide support to the IT Support Team in the day-to-day delivery of high-quality IT services to the school, while taking primary responsibility for the day-to-day IT support needs of both primary schools through regular on-site visits and proactive engagement with staff and pupils.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
