Starting salary: £45,530 FTE
Ready to shape the digital future of education?
We are embarking on an incredibly exciting chapter. Two established Multi-Academy Trusts are merging, creating a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation. With this growth comes a brilliant tech challenge-and that’s where you come in.
While one half of our newly expanded Trust has already successfully transitioned to Bromcom as our core Management Information System (MIS), the other half is waiting for this next step. Your immediate priority will be to lead in embedding Bromcom across the remaining 11 schools, setting the digital foundation for thousands of students and staff.
What You’ll Do
As our new Systems Analyst, you won’t just be maintaining systems - you will be the architect of our digital evolution, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and everyday school operations.
- The Bromcom Rollout: Act as a key project champion, onboarding new schools, gathering requirements, cleansing data, and providing the go-live support and training staff need to thrive.
- Build the 'Single Source of Truth': Design and maintain fundamental semantic data models within Power BI. You’ll build the robust technical groundwork that allows our Data Officers to produce game-changing, Trust-wide insights.
- Streamline & Consolidate: Work alongside our Data & Information Manager to audit our entire software landscape. You’ll bust data silos, eliminate unnecessary tech complexity, and ensure our systems communicate flawlessly.
- System Governance: Take true ownership of maintenance and user access governance, keeping our core software suite secure, compliant, up-to-date, and perfectly aligned with our long-term digital strategy.
- Be the Translator: Act as a trusted bridge between central IT and school teams, translating complex technical concepts into practical, everyday language.
