Inspire our Service Desk Analysts to be the best

Our customer-focused Global Support Centre provides technical support across a wide range of ICT systems and services, logging, processing and diagnosing incidents quickly and effectively. It’s important work that could take your career to new heights as you focus your talents on a wide range of existing and new services that we offer.

In this important role it’ll be your task to help drive and improve our Service Desk Analysts first contact resolution rate to ensure the vital services they provide are delivered within agreed SLAs. Analysing performance metrics and identifying relevant issues, you’ll assess options and recommend relevant plans of action or service improvements.

But your work won’t stop here – you’ll undertake in-depth technical investigations and the diagnosis and resolution of requests. In addition, you’ll provide technical expertise during major incidents and help gather updates, workarounds, permanent fixes and solutions to in-flight problem records. We’ll also expect you to ensure that support requirements are documented and accepted prior to the take-on of a new service, and document any known issues. And all the while you’ll be maintaining your own professional development, knowledge and expertise relating to the latest technologies and best practice.

Use all your technical skills to support our global mission

Highly resourceful, flexible and methodical, you’ll enjoy looking for inventive answers to difficult problems, and use all your interpersonal skills to inspire team members. It’s important that you have ITIL Foundation certification and a Level 3 qualification or advanced apprenticeship in an IT-related subject, and in addition to well-developed experience of working within service desks & second line incident and request fulfilment process disciplines, you’ll possess a good understanding of priority classifications and SLAs.

We’ll expect you to have excellent working knowledge of relevant operating systems, applications, general networking and remote-working technologies. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, so you’ll have a genuine flair for communication and problem solving, and your ability to analyse, interrogate and evaluate data will make you a ‘go-to’ colleague. In addition, you’ll be at an advantage if you have working knowledge of ServiceNow and Office 365 and similar Microsoft environments (Intune).

Discover the support you need to grow your career further

Working with us you’ll help keep people, information, and assets safe around the world. It’s a role you can feel proud of; and we aim to make every part of your career just as rewarding.

Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us.

It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
