You will work closely with our external ICT managed service provider to plan and deliver improvements while minimising disruption to staff and services.
This is an opportunity to play a leading role in the next stage of Cernach Housing Association’s digital development. We have a range of software currently in place, and have continuously held Cyber Essentials Plus certification for the past three years. You will combine hands-on technical support with project delivery, cyber-security awareness, staff training and effective management of external ICT suppliers.

At least 50% of the postholder’s weekly hours must be worked in our Drumchapel office, with regular travel to and from the office required. Occasional work outside normal working hours may also be necessary.
Fixed-term status
This post is offered on a fixed-term basis until 30 November 2028. It has been established for a defined period to support the Association’s ICT requirements and digital transformation programme and to gauge the ongoing ICT requirements of the business.
The successful applicant’s employment under this contract will end on the stated date.

You will also be comfortable explaining technical matters in plain language, providing staff training and producing straightforward user guidance.
Experience of SharePoint, cloud-based systems, Cyber Essentials Plus or working within housing, the public sector or another regulated environment would be welcome, although these are desirable rather than essential requirements.
