A friendly, customer-focused approach is also essential.
You will receive practical training and support from experienced colleagues while gaining exposure to endpoint management, end-user support, business applications and day-to-day IT Operations.

- Troubleshoot day-to-day hardware, software, account, application and connectivity issues.
- Configure, deploy and support laptops, monitors, mobile devices and other IT equipment.
- Support Microsoft 365 and other business applications.
- Assist with user accounts, permissions, multi-factor authentication and access requests.
- Record and manage incidents and service requests through the IT ticketing platform.
- Escalate complex issues to senior colleagues or external suppliers.
- Support employee onboarding and offboarding, including equipment and system access.
- Maintain accurate device, software and licence records.
- Create and update user guides, technical notes and support documentation.
