Detail

Dulwich Prep & Senior is an exciting place to work. With over 800 pupils, it has been the largest boys’ prep school in the UK and is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the world’s most cosmopolitan city. In September 2025, we launched our own Senior School, and boys can now stay with us until GCSE.

The school’s strength is its community: our staff, who are professional, passionate, and brilliantly collegiate (CPD is massively important); our pupils, who are inquisitive, challenging learners with a spring in their step, and our parents, who are hugely supportive, appreciative and ambitious.

We are looking for a solutions-focused Network Administrator to join our team full-time. This is a varied role, which includes:

Acting as the first point of contact for IT support requests received through the service desk, telephone, email and in person.
Providing professional first and second-line support to staff and pupils, diagnosing and resolving hardware, software, Microsoft 365 and end-user device issues.
Taking ownership of support tickets, prioritising requests and managing workload effectively during busy periods, while keeping users informed throughout the support process.
Identifying and escalating complex or higher-level technical issues to senior IT staff, external suppliers or service providers where appropriate.
Supporting Microsoft 365, Windows and Apple devices, while assisting with the day-to-day operation of the school's network, servers and cloud services.

A relevant qualification and experience working in a school would be advantageous.
