You'll have some previous exposure to technology through one or more of the following:
- Technology bootcamp or academy programme
- Computer Science, IT, Information Systems or related degree
- Service Desk, Technical Support or Application Support experience
- Placement year or internship within a technology environment
- Personal technology projects demonstrating technical curiosity
Desirable Technical Skills
Experience in all of these areas is not expected, but exposure to some of the following would be beneficial:
- Microsoft Excel, including filtering, sorting and basic formulas
- SQL and database concepts
- Power BI
- Incident or service management processes

Training & Development
You'll receive structured onboarding, mentoring and hands‑on training from experienced team members.
This includes:

- Technical and business process training
- Shadowing and mentoring opportunities
- Ongoing development and career progression support
Ideal Candidate
This role would suit someone who has already taken their first steps into technology and wants to accelerate their career.
You might be a recent graduate, bootcamp graduate, IT apprentice, junior support analyst, service desk analyst or someone with equivalent hands‑on technical experience.
Most importantly, you'll have strong problem‑solving skills, a genuine interest in technology, and the motivation to continue learning and developing.
