ITSM Help-Desk Specialist - Tesco Mobile in Manchester

These roles are part of the Tesco Mobile team and can be based out of the Tesco Mobile Slough or Manchester offices with 2 days a week in the office. We have two great new opportunities for two ITSM Helpdesk Specialists to join our ITSM incident management team. You will be at the centre of service delivery within the OSD Helpdesk, providing first‑line ITSM support to colleagues, partners, suppliers and end users across the organisation. You will take ownership of incidents and service requests, ensuring they are logged, prioritised and resolved quickly and effectively in line with agreed service levels, helping to keep the business running smoothly.

This role goes beyond traditional helpdesk support, offering hands‑on involvement in Major Incident Management, Problem Management and Post‑Incident Reviews. You will work closely with technical teams and service managers to drive swift resolution, identify root causes and deliver meaningful service improvements. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, has a strong service focus and wants to play an active role in improving how IT services are delivered.

Qualifications

• Previous demonstrable experience in a similar helpdesk or IT support role within a complex technical and stakeholder environment
• Strong working knowledge of ITIL processes, with a particular focus on Incident, Problem and Major Incident Management (ideally ITIL v4 certified)
• Experience using ITSM tools (i.e. Halo/Jira), with a solid understanding of the ITIL framework and how it supports effective service management
• Demonstrable troubleshooting and analytical capability, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally while delivering a high standard of customer‑focused support
• Proven flexibility to work a rota‑based schedule to ensure full operational coverage, including occasional weekend working

Additional Skills

• ITIL Foundation certification (v4)
• Experience working within a SIAM (Service Integration and Management) operating model, with a proven ability to work independently or collaboratively in a busy, high‑pressure helpdesk environment
• Familiarity with monitoring and alert management tools, such as Splunk, to proactively identify and respond to service issues
