Our client, a leading international law firm, is seeking a proactive and customer-focused IT Support Specialist to provide hands-on, on-site technical support to their busy London office, working a late shift (14:00 – 22:00) to ensure seamless coverage across the firm's afternoon and evening operations.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide responsive first- and second-line on-site support to lawyers, business services staff, and visitors across desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and peripherals.
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, network, and connectivity issues, escalating where appropriate and tracking through to resolution.
- Support the smooth running of meetings, client events, and evening functions, including audio-visual (AV), video-conferencing (VC), and presentation setups.
- Act as a key point of contact during the firm's late-support hours, ensuring continuous coverage of the London office.
- Log, prioritise, and manage incidents and service requests through the IT service management toolset, ensuring SLAs are met.
- Set up, configure, and deploy end-user hardware and software, including new-starter provisioning and device refreshes.
- Manage user accounts, permissions, and access in line with the firm's security and compliance policies (e.g. Active Directory, Microsoft 365).
- Maintain accurate documentation, knowledge-base articles, and asset records.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of support processes and the overall end-user experience.
- Provide support to other regional offices and out-of-hours cover where required.
