Service Desk Technician
We are recruiting for an experienced Service Desk Technician to join our IM&T Team based at Littlemore Mental Health Centre in Oxford, supporting sites across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.
You'll work closely with the IT Operational Team, providing in-depth second line technical support as well as internal support for the first line Service Desk function, including first line hardware, software and telecommunications issues across the Trust. You'll use your expertise to detect, diagnose and resolve customer issues in accordance with our Service Level Agreement.
You'll need an excellent working knowledge of Microsoft applications such as Excel, Outlook, Word, Office 365 and in-depth troubleshooting experience of Windows 11 and Active Directory. We're also keen to hear from applicants with knowledge of ITIL best practice.
If you have a technical background, experience of working within a service desk and enjoy complex problem solving for a wide customer base, we would love to hear from you!
You'll be required to take part in the Service Desk Out of Hours (24x7x365) rota performing ‘urgent on call’ services outside of the normal hours of operation for in-patient/extended hours services. This role requires travel to various sites across the Trust so applicants must have a full valid driving licence and access to a vehicle for work. Adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010 where required.

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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
