About the role

The SEND Technology Trainer will be working very closely with our SEND Technology Advisor providing specialist technology training to children and young people in schools. At present the role will be providing this training to children/young people in schools in Cambridgeshire although there may be a requirement for travel further afield and at least through the East of England in the future. After the 6 month probation period, there is likely to be an aspect of administration - solely focussed around these two roles providing a valuable service to children and young people. 

You will be part of our consultant team, where we also have experts in Data Protection and GDPR, school management information systems, safeguarding and e-safety, and Online Learning.

The ICT Service is a charging service within Cambridgeshire County Council, with 45 staff. We operate on a commercial footing, where we market and sell our services to schools, and, in the case of our SEND Technology work, to the County Council on behalf of schools.

Note that initially this is a 24 month contract.

For more information or to chat about this opportunity please contact Richard Riley, SEND Technology Advisor, richard.riley@theictservice.org.uk, or call on 01223 772942 (please leave a message).

  • Adapt and keep up to date with new software and other relevant ICT developments
