About The Role

Help keep critical technology services secure, connected and running smoothly across a national care home portfolio.

Joining us means becoming part of a forward-looking care organisation with a strong, long-term commitment to the success of every home. Supported by substantial, planned investment, we provide the resources and stability needed to deliver reliable, secure and resilient technology services across a growing national care home portfolio. This is an office-hours role working 40 hours per week, with occasional travel to care homes and regional offices.

As a Network / Infrastructure Administrator, you'll be the organisation's in-house technical specialist for identity, access and infrastructure administration. Working closely with the Head of IT Infrastructure, the IT Support team and managed service provider (MSP), you'll help ensure secure, reliable technology services while providing expert technical support across the business.


About The Role

This is a specialist technical role responsible for supporting the organisation's hybrid infrastructure environment and acting as the key internal contact for identity, network and infrastructure administration.

You'll manage the day-to-day administration of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, overseeing user accounts, access permissions, security groups, group policies and the wider identity lifecycle. Acting as the technical escalation point for the IT Support team, you'll resolve complex issues relating to identity, connectivity and end-user technology while working closely with the MSP on infrastructure-related matters.

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.
