Top Infrastructure & Systems job niches in demand
Housing
Housing associations, also known as social housing, are not-for-profit organisations, working closely with local authorities to deliver affordable housing.

Some of the key roles we are recruiting for include:

- Business Analyst
Across these roles, it is beneficial to understand Housing Management Systems such as Civica CX, Northgate, OPENHousing, MIS ActiveH and Aareon QL.
NHS
The NHS is one of the greatest areas of technology and digital transformation, digitalising patient data, reducing administrative tasks and improving quality of healthcare services. IT professionals in the NHS will play a role in significant projects ultimately shaping the future of healthcare. The most in demand technical roles include:
- Integration Developer/Architect
- Configuration Specialist
- Systems Trainer
- Business/Systems Analyst
- Project/Programme Manager
The types of technical specialists working with the NHS might have knowledge in EMR, EHR, EPR, PAS, and Laboratory Information Management systems (LIMS) and Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS).
Education
Higher Education organisations are continuously delivering projects to their core Student Systems, with the overall aim of optimising the student experience, improving retention, and making their education more accessible to the population. Job requirements for these projects vary, including:
- Student Systems Developer/Consultant/Analyst
- Integration Specialist/Architect
- Statutory Returns Specialists (e.g. HESA, HESES etc.)
- Business Analyst
- Project/Programme Manager
- VLE Specialists
Student systems, statutory returns, admissions, registry and virtual learning environments (VLE) may vary between universities, but some common systems or specialisms include SITS, Ellucian Banner, PeopleSoft, Moodle, Blackboard and Admission Systems.
Public Sector
Providing support and service to the general public, public sector organisations can include local/central government, charities and blue light services.

As a technical specialist in the public sector, it is advantageous to have skills and experience around core Public Services.

IT Infrastructure & Networking
Underpinning these core systems is the IT Infrastructure of these organisations. This enables systems to function as required and is vital for continuity of services. Given the importance of the services, innovation in infrastructure and networking within public sector organisations ensure they run efficiently and minimise vulnerability to cyber threats. Our clients requirements vary, with keys roles including:
- Infrastructure Engineer
- Network Engineer
- Project / Programme Manager
- Cyber Security / SOC Analyst / Engineer / Lead

Top tips to get hired in Infrastructure or Systems
Expert advice from Business Manager, Ben McKay
Proactively network
Networking has become more important than ever to establish yourself in the technology industry. Join relevant community groups and attend webinars/industry events, to gain valuable advice and insights for your career development, as well as grow your reputation in the market. New connections may even recommend you for new opportunities or give you an idea of the best organisations to work with.
Build valuable relationships with recruiters
IT Recruiters have extensive understanding of the tech market, recruit for exclusive opportunities and know what skillsets are mostly in demand. Don’t miss out on this advantage! Find the most suitable recruiter for you by looking into specialist agencies, ask your colleagues or find recruiter profiles on LinkedIn. The top recruiter profiles should have testimonials that LinkedIn is a great source in looking at testimonials given to recruiters as well, so you can find the best consultant for you!
Continuously improve on your CV and LinkedIn profile
A good CV and LinkedIn profile is key for you to stand out in the IT crowd and open further doors for new opportunities. It should be clear and concise, but most importantly, show your key achievements and outputs. Employers like to see the impact you’ve made, so be proud and show off! Each time you visit your CV or profile, also make sure your skills and experiences highlighted are still relevant.
