You’ll:

• Provide 2nd line support for IT incidents and service requests via phone, Microsoft Teams and our internal ticketing system

• Take ownership of support tickets from assignment through to resolution, maintaining service quality and meeting agreed SLAs

• Troubleshoot issues across Windows 11, Office 365, Active Directory, networks, Wi-Fi, hardware, printers and other business applications

• Build, configure and deploy IT equipment, including supporting new starters, movers and leavers

• Manage user accounts, permissions, security groups and access

What we’re looking for

You’ll already have experience working in a 2nd Line Service Desk or Desktop Support role, ideally within a medium to large organisation.

Technically, you’ll be confident troubleshooting across Windows 11, Office 365 and Active Directory, with a good understanding of networking concepts including TCP/IP, DNS and DHCP. You’ll also be comfortable diagnosing hardware issues and configuring end-user devices.

Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys working with people.

You’ll be:

• Personable and approachable, with clear and professional communication skills

• A genuine team player who enjoys collaborating and sharing knowledge

• Customer and service focused, with a commitment to providing an excellent experience for colleagues

• Proactive and willing to take ownership of issues through to resolution

• Curious and keen to continue developing your technical knowledge

• Organised and methodical, with the ability to prioritise effectively

• Calm and adaptable when managing multiple priorities

Experience with Microsoft Intune, SCCM or Entra, IT onboarding and offboarding, Remote Desktop Services or cloud-based management tools would be an advantage, but isn’t essential.

The working pattern

This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Dorking. There may also be occasional travel to other UK sites, as well as some flexibility required around working hours to support business needs and specific IT projects.
