• Working as a technical escalation point for colleagues within the IT department.
• Supporting with technology delivery to help deliver key departmental and business initiatives.
• Proactive work with IT colleagues, wider business teams and service providers to help develop and support process and disaster recovery methodologies with appropriate testing strategies.

If you enjoy and/or have experience of the following, we think you’ll love this opportunity:

• A good level of knowledge and experience of working with Hypervisor Technologies and SAN Storage.
• Administration of Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

• Application packaging and deployment, and PowerShell Automation.
• Self-motivated, with a passion for technology and a drive to learn more and share your knowledge while staying up to date with industry trends and best practices.
• An effective communicator and a strong team player, able to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different disciplines.
• Able to effectively communicate technical information to non-technical audiences.
• Knowledge and understanding of the ITIL Framework.
• The ability to work in a way that is aligned to our four core values of being friendly, partnering, straightforward and confident.

• A collaborative and supportive work environment where your thinking and ideas are encouraged.
• A commitment to helping you develop both personally and professionally, with mentoring opportunities and access to our award-winning learning portal, Aspire.
