IT Manager (Fixed Term Contract)Bainbridge, North Yorkshire The Yorkshire Dales National Park boasts some of the most stunning scenery in Britain and will provide an enviable setting for your career. We are looking for an IT Manager to join us on a temporary, fixed-term basis, at a time when the work of the National Park Authority is expanding. About Us We are an organisation that protects, enhances and promotes the immense beauty, wildlife and character of the Yorkshire Dales. Set against expansive heather moorland tops, each valley has its own distinct charm, from crags and waterfalls to an underground labyrinth of caves. We are looking for an experienced IT Manager and team player to work full time from our Bainbridge office with regular visits to our Grassington office. There is also the opportunity to work part of the week remotely. This is an exciting opportunity for you to join a National Park and work in one of the UK's most striking and breath-taking locations. The Role You will be responsible for the development, maintenance and support of all IT Systems and management of the IT Team. It's a generalist role that will allow you to be across the whole IT piece rather than specialise and offers the chance to influence policy and change.
The creation of a new IT strategy; and continuing and completing the full rollout of Microsoft 365 (including SharePoint) will be two key objectives for you over the next year. About You With appropriate qualifications and experience in a management role, you'll be taking on this "hands on" position, with the strategic management responsibility of the Authority's IT systems. You will be involved in the day to day tasks of managing the infrastructure and supporting users, along with the management of four IT Officers based at two locations. Project management experience together with excellent communication and influencing skills to manage internal stakeholders and customer expectations are essential for you to work successfully with senior managers in delivering positive outcomes to meet Authority objectives. Access to a car or access to a means of mobility support to meet the demands of the post (if driving you must have a current valid driving licence and appropriate insurance) is essential.
We are looking for a professional, proactive, and customer focussed IT Manager with good interpersonal skills and a ‘can do' attitude. This role is offered as a temporary 12-month fixed term contract. Please refer to the full list of essential and desirable criteria for the role and explain how you meet these within your application. Our recruitment process treats all job applications equally, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or any other equality characteristic. That said, we particularly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, as this group are currently under-represented throughout the Authority. For an informal chat about this vacancy, please contact Michelle Clyde, Head of Finance. The closing date for completed application forms is 11pm Sunday 5 June 2022.
Anticipated interviews Week Commencing 13 June 2022.
