ABOUT THE ROLE

The IT Services Administrator (St Gabriel's School) is the dedicated, on-site technology support and administration role for St Gabriel's School. The role ensures that technology at St Gabriel's is reliable, secure, accessible and responsive to the needs of students, staff and families, and that IT services are delivered in a sustainable and timely manner, in line with EREAFSL standards, policies and procedures. Success in the role depends on understanding the School community, keeping core systems and devices working well, and helping staff and students use technology safely and effectively, including the assistive and accessibility technologies that support student communication, learning and participation.

The role supports and implements strategies so that the School continues to remain authentic to the vision of a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, and works within the School's practices, routines and expectations as a member of the St Gabriel's staff community. It combines hands-on service desk and technical support with the administration of St Gabriel's technology platforms, devices and local infrastructure, under the standards and direction of the National IT team. National IT leads cybersecurity strategy and infrastructure architecture; this role maintains approved local controls, implements agreed actions and escalates risks and issues as required.

The IT Services Administrator (St Gabriel's School) reports to the IT Services Delivery Manager and is a member of the EREAFSL National IT team. Consistent with St Gabriel's School practice, in which all positions ultimately report to the Principal, the role also has a dotted reporting line to the Principal of St Gabriel's School for day-to-day operations and school priorities. The role works closely with the Special Schools IT Operations Lead, who coordinates ERSES technology work and escalations across St Edmund's College and St Gabriel's School.

The role is based at St Gabriel's School, Castle Hill. Occasional travel to St Edmund's College (Wahroonga), EREAFSL offices and other school sites may be required, for example for team meetings, training or backup support.
