It covers system selection, data migration, integration across the wider estate, cutover and the decommissioning of what is in place today.

Our client was emphatic on this point. They want somebody who will look at the business and say what could be done differently, rather than wait to be asked What's On Offer Salary of 80,000 to 100,000 depending on experience 6,000 car allowance Hybrid working, minimum two days per week in the office A seat on the senior leadership team with direct access to the Directors Genuine ownership of the technology function and of a major systems programme An established, profitable business with a long track record There is occasional out of hours work to support planned change and major incidents. You will need to be within a sensible commute of Hampshire for two days a week. The Background That Fits This is an operational business, not a software house. The people who do well in this environment have run IT inside businesses where technology supports the operation rather than being the product. Logistics, distribution, field service, installation, utilities, transport, manufacturing, facilities management and similar. If that is your background, you will recognise this environment straight away. This is a role for a Head of IT, or an IT Manager ready to step up, who wants to own the whole picture rather than one slice of it.

A well run, commercially minded group with a strong position in its market. This is the number one technology role in the business and a seat on the senior leadership team. You will own the strategy, the budget, the systems and the team. It is a hands on role. The function is lean and you will be doing the work as well as directing it. Why The Role Exists The business is investing in a major programme of work across its core business systems, including a full CRM replacement. This is not a refresh. It covers system selection, data migration, integration across the wider estate, cutover and the decommissioning of what is in place today. It will shape how the business sells, serves its customers and grows for the next decade. They want someone to own that programme, not administer it.

You know what goes wrong, because it has gone wrong for you Still hands on. Real depth across a hybrid Microsoft estate, identity and endpoint management, public cloud and network security Experience building and owning an IT budget covering both capital and recurring spend, and negotiating with suppliers Experience leading a small technical team and deciding what is done in house and what is outsourced Commercially minded, able to explain technical risk and investment to people who are not technical Comfortable in front of customers, prospects and suppliers as well as colleagues Certifications such as ITIL 4, CISSP, CISM or BCS membership are welcome, our client is open on route as long as the capability is there Creative. Our client was emphatic on this point. They want somebody who will look at the business and say what could be done differently, rather than wait to be asked What's On Offer Salary of 80,000 to 100,000 depending on experience 6,000 car allowance Hybrid working, minimum two days per week in the office A seat on the senior leadership team with direct access to the Directors Genuine ownership of the technology function and of a major systems programme An established, profitable business with a long track record There is occasional out of hours work to support planned change and major incidents. You will need to be within a sensible commute of Hampshire for two days a week. The Background That Fits This is an operational business, not a software house. The people who do well in this environment have run IT inside businesses where technology supports the operation rather than being the product. Logistics, distribution, field service, installation, utilities, transport, manufacturing, facilities management and similar. If that is your background, you will recognise this environment straight away. This is a role for a Head of IT, or an IT Manager ready to step up, who wants to own the whole picture rather than one slice of it. If you want to lead a systems programme that genuinely changes how a business operates, and you would rather be in the detail than above it, this is worth a conversation.

Cyber Security Trainee Placement Programme Please note this is a training course and fees apply Are you looking to benefit from a new career in IT and Cybersecurity? Skills shortages in the IT sector are driving the need for qualified, entry-level career seekers and career changers. We help place graduates from this programme into top UK companies and organisations needing to employ entry-level IT and Cybersecurity staff that can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme. The best part is you will not need any previous experience as fully accredited training, which includes tutor support and mentoring, provides you with the skills, practical knowledge and qualifications for you to secure a professional job and career in IT. You will also have the reassurance of a job guarantee (18K-£35K) upon completion. Whether you are working full time, part time or are unemployed, this package has the flexibility to be completed at a pace that suits you and can be completed in a few weeks or a few months (step 1 to 4 below). Your job and career goals are completed in 4 easy steps. Job Guarantee - How does it work? Due to the success of this programme and the skills shortage of entry-level IT staff, we can guarantee you will secure an entry level IT job upon completion of your study programme or we will refund you 100% of your course fees back. This is subject to our terms of learning. Students are able to start the training with a deposit of around £190 and finance the remaining balance over 12 months interest free. This means many students finish the courses and find a placement within the term of the finance agreement. Step 1 - Accredited Online Training The first step is completing a selection of professional, accredited and industry recognised courses from CompTIA which is the global leader in IT Technician, Networking and Cybersecurity training. The training is delivered via multimedia rich video tutorials, practice labs, presentations and quizzes through a portal that you study from home. You will also be assigned an expert tutor and a support mentor to help you throughout your training. Step 2 - Practical Training You will gain practical experience by using practice labs which enable you to practice and master what you have learned. Gaining practical hands-on experience gives you confidence to be proficient in your first IT role. This combination of theoretical and practical skills is what line managers need you to have to be effective and confident in your role. Step 3 - Official exams You will then go on to sit the CompTIA A+ and the CompTIA Network+ exams to give you the official certifications which will be recognised not only in the UK, but worldwide. The CompTIA A+ is the most asked for certificate for entry-level IT roles and the certification most IT Managers start their own careers with. All PCs in a professional environment are networked to servers, cloud based or otherwise and the Network+ gives you a needed foundation level of knowledge in networking. Step 4 - IT Technician placement (£24-£35K) We work with you to secure your first role as an IT Technician, with a starting salary of anywhere between £24K-35K. Ideally you will need to gain two years experience in this role before you can progress into a cyber security role. While working as an IT Technician, we will release your second batch of training which is specifically designed to qualify you to move into the cybersecurity field. This official, accredited training consists of online training, practical training and an official exam (CompTIA Security+). Further we can tailor the package to include courses like the Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Network Defender depending on your requirements and future direction. Cybersecurity Role Once you have completed all the mandatory training in step four and have gained two plus years experience in the IT industry, you will be ready to move into higher paying Cybersecurity roles. Our recruitment support team specialises in the IT and Cybersecurity space and roles at this level have an average starting salary of £35K. We have been helping career changers and new career seekers gain new careers since 2009 and we are a CompTIA Gold Partner, accredited by the BCS (Chartered Institute of IT/ British Computer Society) and the EC-Council to ensure we provide the highest levels of training. In addition, we are also ELCAS approved to help members of the Armed Forces, Service Leavers and Veterans gain rewarding careers in IT and Cybersecurity. Passionate about starting a career in IT?
