The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham
Birmingham, UK
The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.
The further development of digital practices and use of technology is integral to the above, and the purpose of this role is to nurture and support this development via the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), among other priorities.

King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.
The further development of digital practices and use of technology is integral to the above, and the purpose of this role is to nurture and support this development via the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), among other priorities. The SCEP, running on Microsoft 365, provides a solution to the organisation for collaboration and communication.
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified, experienced and highly motivated individual to join the central Digital and Technology team and fulfil this critical position to manage the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), running on Microsoft 365.
Our schools have achieved great things by managing their individual digital initiatives, particularly during the pandemic. Now it is time for all parts of the organisation to work collectively in advancing and joining up its digital infrastructure and thereby contributing to the Foundation’s work towards achieving its objectives and realising its mission.
The person appointed will have extensive knowledge of using and configuring the latest M365 technologies in addition to managing, configuring and administrating a shared tenancy for a complex organisation, InTune, Sharepoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook and more. Experience of working in an educational environment is desirable. The person appointed must be committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the students at the school.
As a central support service, our working model must be driven by the needs of our schools. Therefore, please be aware that staff are required to take the majority of annual leave during non-term time.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Job description
Warwickshire County Council is looking to appoint two Solution Architects to help guide the future direction of ICT in the council.
About the team
Warwickshire County Council has a dedicated ICT Strategy and Commissioning Service which is responsible for developing our ICT strategy and vision.
The function of the Solution Architecture team is to provide strategic guidance on business decisions about technology. This could be through working on established projects, or through early conversations with business stakeholders about potential areas for development. The architects assess options for achieving business outcomes, engage the right operational ICT colleagues in discussions, and ensure that ICT risk is identified and considered in all conversations.
The Service also manages a strategic commissioning programme which provides a governance framework and reporting capability for the work that the ICT delivery teams do. This enables a data-informed approach to solution design.
About you
Risk management is an important part of the role, and the Solution Architects must be able to provide insight on threats and opportunities when ICT risks are identified. You will have a general understanding of ICT security practices to enable you to ask the right questions about proposed solutions.

You will have an analytical mind and to be able to assess the available data for any given question, identify where there are gaps and build an assumption base.
You will work collaboratively with the operational delivery teams towards an agreed outcome. Thoughtful and clear communication skills are essential in this role.
Experience of migration from on-premise to cloud-based datacentre or storage systems would be helpful. This is a great opportunity to support data-informed migration within our application, data and technology domains.
What you’ll be doing
We are using Microsoft 365 across the council. We have transitioned elements of our datacentres to Azure and migrated our existing SharePoint platform from on-premise to online, and we are about to begin the deployment of a Dynamics platform for customer relationship management. We are actively seeking ways to optimise our use of cloud technology.
Over the next year we will be focusing on four primary areas for technological change:
Applications and Technology Baselining and Rationalisation
Business Systems Optimisation
Cloud Adoption
Customer Experience Improvement Projects
As a Solutions Architect you will be guiding ICT through these changes using an architecture-led approach. You will work collaboratively with our technical experts to develop policy and guidance which supports the work.
We will also be developing commissions covering the services that ICT provide to the business, including:
End User Compute
Public Digital Services
Digital Workplace
Core Infrastructure
Security Services
Service Management
You will play an active role in defining and developing these, working with ICT colleagues and with stakeholders across the business.

Royal Society of Biology
Remote mostly, occasional visits to London office
1 day/week, for indefinite duration. £400-£500/day incl., depending on demonstrated expertise. Reports to the Director of Technology.
Key tasks in this role:
(1) Developing and maintaining in-depth knowledge of the ins and outs of our core business systems and services as part of our business continuity plan – being there if the Director of Technology is unavailable.
(2) Providing some general application and user support for our day-to-day operations, for our extensive in-house developed suite of cloud bases applications and platforms. This involves helping to support users and respond to some support queries.
The main focus of this role is really on the business continuity aspect . As such, it may at first sight be a bit strange that we specifically also want this role to involve some user support tasks. We understand our prime target candidates probably don’t see themselves primarily as a user support person. However, we feel that, realistically, it would be impossible to step in at short notice without being properly familiar with the organisation, its people and its day-to-day concerns and workings.
Just for clarity, in this role the candidate will not be writing code for us or designing our solutions and they will therefore be expected to work within the operational and strategic vision as set out by the Director and with the systems and services we have. We want to be clear about these constraints to avoid any future disappointment or disagreement.
In this role, the candidate will most of the time be able to work from home/remotely, but will be required to attend our London office as required to carry out in-person or on-site duties and meetings occasionally.
Our systems and services make heavy (and increasing) use of the AWS cloud, including services such as EC2, SES, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront.
As stated above, a key part of the role is to become intimately familiar with the ins and outs of the core business systems and services as part of our business continuity planning.
In terms of the skills, abilities and experience that we see as important for this role:
Substantial and proven experience in managing AWS resources, including EC2, S3, IAM, SES, Lambda, DynamoDB,…
Detailed understanding of the Windows environment, including desktop and server OS, Active Directory with Group Policy and Windows Server management.
In-depth understanding of core network technologies such as DHCP, DNS, RADIUS, …
Decent experience in managing Office365 email services.
A good grasp of good security and data protection practice.
Exposure to languages such as PHP, Javascript and node.js and decent expertise with MySQL databases is beneficial.
Some real-world experience with programming in the area of web/cloud applications would be an added benefit, but not an absolute requirement.
With regard to the sort of personality we are am looking for:
Someone friendly and good at engaging with people at all levels and in all functions.
Someone who communicates effectively and in a constructive manner.
Someone who operates at all times with the highest degree of integrity and honesty.
Someone who is organised and methodical.
The Royal Society of Biology is a single unified voice for biology: advising Government and influencing policy; advancing education and professional development; supporting our members, and engaging and encouraging public interest in the life sciences. The Society represents a diverse membership of individuals, learned societies and other organisations.
Individual members include practising scientists, students at all levels, professionals in academia, industry and education, and non-professionals with an interest in biology.
Our vision is of a world that understands the true value of biology and how it can contribute to improving life for all.
Our mission is to be the unifying voice for biology, to facilitate the promotion of new discoveries in biological science for national and international benefit, and to engage the wider public with our work.
