Start your tech career with purpose, impact, and opportunity.
If have a passion for technology and a desire to learn by doing, this is your chance to join a team where tradition meets innovation. At the Royal Household, you'll gain practical exposure from day one - solving real problems in an accelerated learning environment, supporting users, and contributing to a purpose that matters.
This role offers more than the typical entry-level position. You'll operate as first-line (telephone) and second-line support (deskside support), and access control analyst - developing broad practical expertise across hardware, software, and core IT infrastructure.
You won't just troubleshoot - you'll learn, grow, and become a trusted problem-solver from the outset, taking on increasingly advanced tasks as your confidence and capability build.
Day-to-day you will:
Respond to user queries, assess issues, research solutions, and resolve problems - delivering high levels of customer support and reacting swiftly to minimise disruption.
Help reduce repeat IT incidents by sharing useful insights and offering basic user training.
Log and maintain accurate records of support tickets, identifying and flagging recurring trends to inform future improvements.
Triage and diagnose complex issues, collaborating with colleagues to escalate when needed, while keeping users informed throughout.
Install, configure, and maintain systems, applications, and peripheral devices to ensure users have the tools they need to succeed.
You won't be confined to the service desk - you'll also work hands-on across our sites. Every day will be different, and you'll be trusted to manage your own workload, working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure the user experience remains central to your approach.
Your development journey
Starting as an IT Support Analyst with us isn't just a job, it's the beginning of a rewarding journey in tech.

We're proud to offer a role that opens doors to exciting specialisms and long-term career growth.
Ready to take the first step?
If you're curious, motivated, and excited by the idea of using technology to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're a recent college leaver, graduate or looking to pivot into tech, this role offers the support, structure, and opportunity to help you thrive.
