Solutions Architect – Herts for Learning
Salary
Band 4 – FTE £30,000 - £35,000 p.a
Date Ending
February 28, 2022
Contract: Permanent – fulltime at 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year
Location: Flexibility to work both remotely from home, and across educational settings in Hertfordshire.
It’s a great time to work as a Solutions Architect for Hertfordshire schools as they have begun to understand the benefits of introducing and integrating cloud-based solutions. You might think that helping a few schools with this is a walk in the park. However, to rise to the challenge of helping hundreds of schools achieve this ambition represents something you’d really enjoy taking on!
Inevitably, secondary schools are likely to want to work in a hybrid manner, so you’ll need experience in the design and implementation of both server-based and cloud-based technology solutions. Our team is a group of technologists that are passionate about encouraging schools to improve education for children through better use of technology. If you’re proactive, great at shaping requirements with customers and want to be one of our solution architects, we’d love to hear from you.
The team are working remotely where possible to support their schools and when required, providing onsite support to their schools in line with Government guidelines. Therefore, the ability to reach different locations by car will be essential. If you drive, then a full driving licence and appropriate car insurance will be required. Also, as there is a permanent home working element to this role, you will need to ensure you are equipped for home working.

HfL is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We insist on the equal treatment of all current and prospective colleagues and will never condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.
HfL is also equally committed to becoming an anti-racist organisation and we encourage you to view our Black Lives Matter statement which gives clarity on our anti-racist stance. In our relentless efforts to be an anti-racist organisation, we recognise the negative impacts of under representation and lack of diversity in our organisation, our education system and in all aspects of our society. Therefore, for recruitment into any HfL post, where we have 2 or more candidates of equal merit, candidates with protected characteristics will be given advantage over candidates without such characteristics. This is sometimes referred to as a ‘tie-breaker’ and is referred to as ‘positive action’ in the Equality Act 2010.
To help us meet our high standards and aspirations of a fully diverse and inclusive workplace, we strongly encourage suitably qualified applicants from all backgrounds to apply and to join us.
Please note that if you are invited to interview, we will expect you to be prepared to discuss unconscious bias with us; we find these conversations more than any others give us all a good idea of what working together will be like.
