About the role
We are seeking an IT Systems Engineer to join our team and provide support to all IT users across the RAD and the established platforms. This includes managing, maintaining and administering our systems, servers and SaaS platforms.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is highly organised with great interpersonal and communication skills. You should have significant experience in dealing with and troubleshooting IT systems including Windows, M365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other hardware and peripherals. You should also have strong networking experience including VPN, DHCP, DNS, TCP/IP, VLANs, subnets, and firewalls. Server administration knowledge including Hyper-V, Proxmox, and VMware is also essential.
Working in a collaborative team, you will be as happy rolling your sleeves up and getting involved in the day-to-day as much as being the driver of team projects on a global scale.
We are passionate about providing a positive workplace culture. While time in our accessible London (Wandsworth / Battersea) office will be required, we operate a hybrid model of in-person and remote working. Staff discounts on dance and fitness classes and wellbeing resources, plus events and volunteering opportunities enhance the RAD experience, as well as a range of lunchtime activities including book club, dance, Pilates, and a craft club.
We also offer 25 days paid holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays and a birthday day off, contributory pension scheme, access to the Perkbox discounts platform – including an Employee Assistance Programme, WeCare scheme, Bupa cash plan, life assurance, season ticket loan, and cycle to work scheme.

All colleagues are required to promote and safeguard the welfare of children they are responsible for, or come into contact with, and to adhere to and ensure compliance with the RAD’s Safeguarding Policy at all times.
