Job Description
We're looking for an enthusiastic and motivated IT Support Apprentice to join our Europe North IT team based in Welwyn Garden City, UK. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about technology and wants to build a career in IT.
As part of our IT Support team, you'll be the first point of contact for colleagues needing technical assistance, helping to keep our IT systems running smoothly across multiple locations across 10 different countries. You'll receive hands-on training and support while working towards your apprenticeship qualification, gaining valuable experience across a wide range of technologies.
No previous IT experience is required, but we're looking for someone with a genuine interest in technology, a willingness to learn, and a positive attitude.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
