Contract: 9‑month fixed‑term contract
Hours: 37 hours per week
At SettleParadigm, we look after more than 30,000 homes across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties. Our purpose is simple- safe homes, good services and neighbourhoods people feel proud to live in. Through our merger, we’ve brought together shared values, skills and ambition, helping us build more affordable homes and make an even bigger difference in the communities we serve.
As part of this journey, our IT team plays a vital role in keeping our systems secure, reliable and ready for the future.

You’ll assess source and target environments, define migration waves, map dependencies, support identity and collaboration decisions, and help ensure our cloud services remain stable, secure and scalable throughout the transition. You’ll also contribute to solution design, transitional architecture and technical planning across identity, endpoint, collaboration and cloud platforms.
