The Role

We are looking for two talented ICT Network Managers to join the Wade Deacon Trust, one based at Halewood Academy and one based at Wade Deacon High School.


The successful applicants will lead on the technical provision of all aspects of ICT to ensure that effective teaching and learning can take place and school operations are successfully implemented.

The post will involve working collaboratively with the Trust and the Director of Operations.


We can offer the successful candidate an opportunity to work with highly trained and supportive staff, as well as a whole school commitment to professional development, since we believe that staff development is a fundamental aspect in raising standards further for our pupils. Our school communities are also a highly rewarding place to work.


A comprehensive programme of CPD and a commitment to wellbeing supports colleagues at all career stages; through the School and the Trust, we provide excellent career opportunities for our staff. Colleagues seeking a varied, challenging and rewarding career can find this in the Wade Deacon family.


We pride ourselves on the quality and diversity of our curriculum, including our personal development and extracurricular provision which not only enable our pupils to enjoy their learning but also allows them to be able to meet the many challenges that they will face in the future, understanding the wider world and their place within it.

Above all else, we are a school that believes that every student, regardless of their context or starting point, can and should achieve their full potential. If you believe that you have the motivation, belief and leadership quality to contribute to our future success, we would welcome an application from you.
