Who we are

Winner of the Best Place to Work at the Tech South West Awards 2025, City College Plymouth offers a culture the College is proud of. Our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity help create an environment that supports a passion for teaching and learning. These values guide our work as we enrich our community through knowledge, experience and skills so every student can achieve their best.

The Role

The role of a Computing Technician is fundamental to the successful delivery of our curriculum. We are seeking an approachable individual with a proactive "can-do" attitude who can work effectively with students, teaching staff, and external partners. It is essential to remain agile and solution-focused, demonstrating the ability to pivot quickly in response to evolving situations.

Strong time management and organisational skills are vital, as you will be expected to manage your own workload and prioritise tasks to meet shifting business requirements. In this varied role, where no two days are the same, the ideal candidate will possess the necessary technical expertise while actively fostering a positive team culture.

You should be passionate about supporting students through technical challenges, with a particular talent for translating complex technical solutions into clear, accessible guidance. Working closely with both peers and students, you will ensure that technical support remains a seamless and integrated part of the learning experience.

Interviews are currently planned to take place on the 9th of June 2026
