The Role
Reporting to the IT Manager, you'll be the first point of contact for IT support across the business, helping colleagues in our offices and working remotely with hardware, software and account issues.

More complex issues are escalated to the IT Manager or our third-party support partners, so you'll always have support while you learn.
