We are looking to engage an experienced freelance IT Support Specialist to deliver a defined programme of access management, systems administration and compliance work as we grow.
The focus of this engagement is to ensure our core systems are well-managed, auditable and secure, and that staff and freelancers are well supported in their day-to-day use of them.
The appointed freelancer will bring their own expertise and approach to shape how this work is delivered, working to agreed priorities and timelines, and collaborating closely with Oak colleagues.
This is a remote UK-based role, carried out on an Oak-managed device.

We will provide an Oak-managed device (Windows and macOS) for the duration of the engagement.

Ways of working
This engagement is offered on a self-employed basis. You will work closely with the IT & Data Security Officer to ensure alignment, share progress, and agree priorities throughout the engagement period.
