Systems Development Officer (Career Graded Post)

Aura Leisure & Libraries Ltd
37 Hours Per Week
SS Grade F to G (SCP 23 to 33)
Salary starts at £21,269 p.a. rising to £29,325 upon progression
Location: Based within Aura’s Head Office at Deeside Leisure Centre

Aura Leisure & Libraries Ltd is a charitable, not-for-profit, organisation responsible for managing the majority of leisure centres, libraries and heritage services previously operated directly by Flintshire County Council.  Aura is a Community Benefit Society, owned by its employees, with a vision of more people, more active minds and bodies, more often.

This post offers you an exciting opportunity to develop your career in IT through a phased approach.  You will start by learning all about the existing leisure systems; firstly, understanding the processes through day-to-day operation and interrogation before assuming the role of ‘system administrator’.  After developing our existing IT systems and maximising their potential to improve customer services and the front-of-house / online experience, you will make the next step on your career path moving to Team Leader and ‘technical expert’.

As leader of an experienced team of system users, you will support and coach colleagues to ensure they have the appropriate skills and knowledge to deliver a high level of customer satisfaction.  You will lead by example, supporting management teams through effective system configuration and the ease of use of all customer point of sale interfaces.

An important part of the post is your relationship with software providers to ensure upgrades, infrastructure maintenance and system downtimes are managed and communicated effectively, and with the minimum of disruption to customers.

You will work closely with colleagues in Aura’s senior management team to ensure integration between systems is achieved.  The impact of your contribution to day-to-day system management will be clearly visible in the improved quality of performance reports.

Aura is seeking candidates with NVQ Level 4 or equivalent experience in Information Technology, Management Information Systems and/or System Administration.  Ideally, you will have a good level of technical knowledge in IT / SQL Server database systems and a commitment to putting the customer first.

The following benefits apply to the successful candidate:

  • Matched contribution to the Pension Scheme
  • Ongoing professional development
  • Significantly discounted Aura Employee Gym Membership
  • Free car parking
