Your new company This multi-academy trust has a number of sites across the Greater Manchester area, having experienced significant growth over recent years and with further expansion plans to add additional sites in September 2024. It is therefore imperative for the MAT that the right individuals are employed, to allow this growth and ensure high standards across the trust. The IT Director has approached Hays seeking an IT Team Leader to join the trust on a permanent basis, overseeing IT operations across 2 sites. The trust can offer further progression for the right individual as they continue to grow, and they have a very low staff turnover, therefore demonstrating their commitment to the development of staff. Having worked with the trust for a significant period of time, it is clear that they are very focused on both raising standards and ensuring these standards are maintained, and it is clear that the trust will continue to grow, offering further career opportunities.
