[Swlug] Entry Level Linux SysAdmin Job in Bridgend

[Matthew Moore]

Hi Folks,

There is going to be a entry level Linux SysAdmin post opening up in
Bridgend in the next month or two.  The starting pay will be NHS band 5
(which is 21.5k, which rises about 1k per year to 28k).  It's a very
varied job, you'll need to be willing to learn new systems and
software.  Ideally you'll have the  following skill:

Excellent google searching abilities and a willingness to solve problems
on your own.

And then experience with the following (or a willingness to learn):

General linux skills (Ubuntu Linux is the main distro)
KVM & QEMU
NFS & SMB
Basic networking skills (know the difference between Layer 2 and 3)
Python scripting (django knowledge a bonus) and BASH
Postfix, Dovecot, mailman
DNS, DHCP, LDAP & Kerberos
PHP web apps (Joomla, Dokuwiki)
Perl web apps (RT)
R Statistics language
LATEX/LyX/Roff

There's also 20 staff on site to provide IT support to.  Printers to
fix.  Desktops to provision.  The infrastructure is pretty stable and
fairly straightforward due to it's small size.  It's a nice relaxed
place to work.  The work is very varied, you'll never be bored.  However
you'll have to be self motivated and happy to work on your own.  It's
based at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend.  15/20 minute walk
from the train station.

If you're just leaving uni or wanting to start off as a Linux SysAdmin,
then this is a good place to work for. 

If you're interested, please email me at - matt at smtl.co.uk and I can
tell you more or have a chat on the phone about the job.

Cheers,

Matt
