A huge range of people and organisations around the world rely on our systems and technology. Our colleagues need it to help them perform all manner of vital work, while our government-level customers look to us to keep their highly sensitive information secure. You’ll make sure they both get the very best help - whenever and wherever they need it.

Your support will reach further
A vital first port of call on our Service Desk, you’ll provide technical support across a huge range of our ICT systems and services. You’ll field all sorts of incidents in all kinds of places – acting swiftly to log, process, investigate and diagnose each issue as efficiently and effectively as possible. Communication will be key, because each new challenge will see you keeping customers updated, while working with colleagues to find and deliver the right solution. We’re always focused on customer service; on being reliable, responsive and building relationships. In this role, you’ll be a big part of that, ensuring issues are resolved and helping us build trust in our reliable service.

You’ll bring out your flair for problem solving
Resourceful, flexible and methodical, you’ll thrive in our fast paced and busy ICT team. You enjoy looking further to find inventive answers to new problems, and you’re an effective organiser and a natural communicator.
You also have a NVQ Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in an IT related subject along with broad technical knowledge of remote working technologies and Microsoft applications, as listed in the role profile.

While an understanding of priority classifications, SLAs and the ITIL Framework would also help, it’s not essential. However, you must have knowledge of Central Government and Open Government Data systems, as well as HM Government security regulations.
