IT Networking Team Leader
📍 Hybrid – Lichfield (Group Support)
đź’° Up to ÂŁ65,000 + benefits
Lead at Scale. Build What Matters.
At Voyage Care, technology isn’t just infrastructure — it’s critical to delivering safe, effective care to thousands of people across the UK.
We’re looking for an IT Networking Team Leader to take ownership of a large, complex, multi-site network estate and lead a skilled team through an exciting period of investment, modernisation, and cloud growth.
If you’re a hands-on technical leader who thrives on ownership, impact, and solving real-world challenges, this is your opportunity to make a difference.

Why This Role Stands Out
✅ Enterprise-scale impact – Support hundreds of UK-wide services
✅ Modern tech stack – Cisco Meraki, Azure, SD-WAN, FortiGate
✅ Transformation journey – Cloud maturity, automation, and security programmes underway
✅ Autonomy to shape delivery – Influence strategy and execution within your domain
✅ Meaningful work – Your network directly supports frontline care delivery

What You’ll Be Doing
Lead & Inspire
  • Manage and develop a high-performing Network Operations team
  • Create a culture of continuous improvement, ownership, and collaboration
Own the Network Estate
  • Take full responsibility for a large-scale Cisco Meraki environment (MX, MS, MR)
  • Drive performance, resilience, and scalability across all services
  • Lead network upgrades, deployments, and lifecycle management
Deliver Modern Connectivity
  • Shape and support hybrid cloud networking in Azure
  • Oversee WAN, LAN, VPN, SD-WAN, and wireless environments
  • Ensure seamless connectivity across a geographically distributed estate
Drive Innovation & Automation
  • Introduce and expand automation (PowerShell / Python)
  • Reduce manual effort and improve operational consistency
  • Move towards infrastructure-as-code principles
Strengthen Security & Compliance
  • Work closely with security teams on Cyber Essentials Plus & ISO 27001
  • Oversee firewalls, IDS/IPS, segmentation, and secure access controls
  • Support audits, risk management, and incident response
Lead Key Projects
  • Own technical delivery of network projects including:
    • Site deployments
    • Connectivity transformations
    • Telephony rollouts (VoIP/SIP)
    • Platform enhancements


What You’ll Bring
  • Strong leadership experience managing technical teams
  • Proven background in enterprise networking (multi-site environments)
  • Deep expertise in Cisco Meraki (essential)
  • Experience with Azure networking and hybrid environments
  • Solid knowledge of network security, SD-WAN, VPNs, and routing/switching
  • Exposure to automation tools and scripting
  • Ability to deliver complex infrastructure projects end-to-end
Certifications such as CCNP, Meraki, or Azure Network Engineer are a bonus — but practical experience matters most.
