• Investigating and resolving application incidents and service requests
• Supporting problem and change management activities
• Working with users to understand issues and identify solutions
• Collaborating with technical teams and stakeholders
• Supporting weekly and monthly service reporting
• Maintaining support documentation and knowledge articles
• Contributing to service improvements and process enhancements
• Developing expertise in enterprise applications and support processes

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

• Naturally curious and enjoys solving problems
• Analytical and able to investigate issues logically
• Detail-oriented and highly organised
• Comfortable working with data and information
• A strong communicator who enjoys working with people
• Eager to learn new technologies and develop technical skills
• Able to manage multiple priorities and take ownership of tasks

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
• Data analysis and troubleshooting techniques

Training & Development

You'll receive structured onboarding, mentoring and hands‑on training from experienced team members.

This includes:

• Incident, problem and change management processes
• 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.

What We Offer
