This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their IT career, or looking to move into networking and infrastructure support, with full training and support provided.

  • Delivering excellent customer service and building strong customer relationships.
  • Participating in an on-call rota (maximum 1 week in 3) once appropriately trained.

You may be:

  • A recent college or university graduate with an interest in IT or Networking.
  • Working in a Helpdesk, Retail Technology, Technical Support or Customer Service role and looking to progress.

  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.
  • Confidence working independently and as part of a team.
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn new technologies.
  • Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • A full UK driving licence.
