Advice for applicants

Lead with your most relevant experience, make the five-plus years and any TSSP or education-sector work easy to spot on the first page, so the reviewer sees you’re a serious fit from the start.

Back up the must-haves with concrete examples. Describe Hyper-V environments you’ve managed, the Windows and Linux servers you’ve administered, cloud configurations you’ve handled, and the scale of the fleets you supported, including outcomes or improvements you achieved.

Be ready to talk about school or large‑scale ICT projects, how you partnered with school leadership, and how you’ve delivered ICT training to staff. Expect questions about handling incidents across multiple sites and your approach to escalation.

Ask about how Bytewize plans to grow the TSSP footprint and whether you’ll have chances to lead staff training sessions or contribute to ICT strategy with education stakeholders.
