Service Desk Apprentice

You will act as a first line of contact within the business and provide IT maintenance and technical support to all levels of the company. Full training will be provided.,

• IT Support Technicians are responsible for setting up all hardware and ensuring said hardware is connected to the network, to include devices such as company laptops, tablets or mobile phones. It is the IT Support Technician's responsibility to issue this equipment, as well as diagnose and repair any malfunctions.


• When something goes wrong, it is the IT Support Technicians who are the first line of defence. You are responsible for performing an initial diagnosis of the issue and documenting your findings. Then, you formulate and execute a strategy to fix the issue.


• Part of maintaining the health of a network involves keeping meticulous records on the age of each machine on the network and to whom it is allocated. Older hardware is more susceptible to issues and may need more-frequent maintenance. IT Support Technicians keep track of these records and perform these maintenance routines.


• This is the customer service portion of the job. IT Support Technicians are the "face" of the helpdesk and of IT. If someone from another department needs IT, it is IT Support Technicians who answer the call initially. This duty takes patience, good communication skills and demands a consistently high level of quality service provision.


• Some issues are more pressing than others. It is up to IT Support Technicians to prioritise issues based on severity and immediacy. Some problems you won't have the expertise to solve and must either look to allocate to 2nd or 3rd line SME's or escalate to the Service Operations Manager.


• Re-allocation of issues is an important element of the Support lifecycle, if done correctly and timely it helps to reduce the end to end fix time of the issue, thus providing a better experience for the initiator.
