Role Overview
The IT Support Analyst Apprentice is an entry-level, first-line support role focused on delivering excellent customer service and being the welcoming, helpful face of IT for The Delta Group. This role is ideal for someone starting their IT career who is enthusiastic, approachable, eager to learn, and ready to help colleagues with day-to-day technology issues.
Reporting to the Senior Support Analyst, with a dotted-line into and day-to-day guidance from the IT Systems & Support Engineer, the role will provide basic first-line support, log and triage tickets, help users with common IT requests, and escalate issues to the IT Systems & Support Engineer where further technical knowledge is required. The successful person will be the first to step forward when someone needs help, whether that is at the desk, over the phone, through the service desk, or when a colleague walks into the room.

- Provide basic first-line support for common issues such as passwords, access, printers, laptops, mobile devices, and Microsoft 365
- Escalate issues promptly to the IT Systems & Support Engineer when further technical support is required
