About the Role

As an IT Support Technician, you'll provide day-to-day technical support across a further education provider, keeping systems, hardware and software running reliably for staff and learners.

You'll respond to support requests, resolve faults and escalate more complex issues where needed, as well as setting up and maintaining equipment so that teaching and learning can carry on without interruption.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Responding to IT support requests from staff and learners and resolving issues promptly.
  • Diagnosing and fixing hardware, software and network faults.
  • Setting up, configuring and maintaining computers, peripherals and classroom technology.
  • Supporting user accounts, access and password administration.
  • Logging support calls accurately and escalating issues where appropriate.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience providing IT support in a busy environment
  • Good working knowledge of hardware, software and network troubleshooting
  • Strong communication skills and a helpful, patient approach with non-technical users
  • Well organised, with the ability to prioritise competing requests

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A relevant IT qualification
  • Experience of IT support within an education setting

If you're ready to put your technical skills to work keeping staff and learners up and running, we'd love to hear from you.
