About the Role
Are you someone who takes pride in helping people and genuinely enjoys solving problems? We're looking for an enthusiastic First Line Service Desk Analyst to join a friendly and supportive IT team. As the first point of contact for IT support across the business, you'll help colleagues with a wide range of technical queries by phone, email, remote session and in person. Reporting to the Service Desk Manager, you'll log, troubleshoot and resolve issues while delivering a consistently excellent service experience.
What You'll Be Doing
- Acting as the first line of support for incidents, service requests and general IT queries, covering hardware, software, mobile devices and other technical equipment.
- Recording tickets clearly and thoroughly so that other support teams can pick them up and progress them quickly.
- Working to agreed service levels and performance targets.
- Managing the IT onboarding of new starters by setting up accounts, confirming the right approvals are in place and making sure everyone has the system access they need from day one.
- Following established processes and procedures.
- Delivering a positive, professional experience in every interaction.
- Sharing knowledge with your teammates to help the whole team grow.
- Getting involved in wider IT projects as opportunities arise.
