Desktop Support Engineer in London

Looking for a role where every day brings something different? If you’re a hands-on IT professional who enjoys solving problems, supporting people, and keeping things running smoothly, this could be your perfect next step. We’re looking for an IT Support Engineer to join a supportive, fast-paced team providing on-site technical support across a range of school environments. From setting up new devices and resolving user issues to maintaining reliable classroom tech, you’ll be the go-to person for keeping systems – and lessons – running without a hitch. This role combines variety, independence, and people interaction – ideal for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys seeing the impact of what they do.

What you’ll do

• Delivering 1st and 2nd line technical support on-site across multiple locations
• Troubleshooting Windows devices, Chromebooks, printers, and AV/classroom technology
• Providing clear, friendly support to staff and students face-to-face
• Logging and managing support tickets in coordination with the wider service desk team
• Working with suppliers and third parties to resolve escalated issues
• Carrying out site audits and identifying opportunities for improvement

No two days will look the same – and that’s what keeps it interesting.

What we’re looking for

We’re after someone who’s confident, adaptable, and enjoys working directly with end users. You’ll need to have:

• Solid experience in on-site IT support (around 3+ years)
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft technologies – Windows 11, Microsoft 365, etc.
• Familiarity with virtualisation platforms such as Hyper-V
• A calm, methodical approach to troubleshooting
• Strong communication and organisational skills

Nice to have

You don’t need all of these, but they’ll help you get up to speed faster:

• Previous experience providing IT support within schools or other education settings
• Understanding of Group Policy and mobile device management (MDM)
• Knowledge of backup systems, Azure services, and virtualisation
• Networking experience – VLANs, Wi-Fi, switches, firewalls
• Familiarity with tools such as Autotask, Datto, or equivalent platforms
• A genuine curiosity for new tech and emerging IT solutions

Why join?

This is a chance to join a team that values initiative and collaboration in equal measure. You’ll have plenty of autonomy in your day-to-day work, backed by people who want to see you succeed. You’ll also:

• Expand your technical knowledge across a broad stack
• Work in varied environments and see the real-world impact of your support
• Access ongoing training and career development opportunities
• Be part of a workplace that encourages ideas and personal growth

If you’re reliable, personable, and ready for a role where you can make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to start your next chapter in IT.
