• Act as the first point of contact for IT support requests, handling day-to-day user issues in a timely and professional manner

• Exposure to Microsoft 365 administration is useful
• Exposure to Google Workspace administration is useful
• Any experience with networking or UniFi equipment is a bonus but not a requirement
• An Enhanced DBS check would be advantageous but is not essential
• Comfortable escalating rather than over-reaching - this is a 1st Line role and complex issues will be handled by specialist teams
