Job description

About The Role

The role will be responsible for supporting a large base of UK-wide users. The role holder will have a minimum of 18 months experience in a similar position, is expected to be highly pro-active, have a good all-round knowledge of IT software, hardware and be able to communicate with a wide range of users at all levels.

You will be required to use your initiative, research, and problem-solving skills to resolve issues and create written knowledgebase articles where required. The position requires a good grounding in IT systems and requires the ability to adapt to innovative technologies, learn new procedures, determine the root-cause of issues, and come up with both tactical and strategic solutions.

This role sits within the London IT Service Desk team, which consists of one Senior Analyst and three Analysts (including this position). It forms part of a wider IT Service Desk function of eight, made up of three Senior Analysts and five Analysts, with a presence in Manchester and Leeds. Across all locations, the team works collaboratively to provide remote support to the wider Leigh Day network.

The team is well-established, collaborative, and supportive, with a strong culture of helping one another and sharing knowledge. This creates an environment where individuals are encouraged to grow, contribute meaningfully, and take real ownership of their work within a trusted and high-performing team.

We offer a flexible working pattern for our IT Service Desk team. Typically, this consists of two days in the office and three days working from home, with one week in three requiring three days in the office. The IT team is also eligible for our “working elsewhere” policy, which allows up to two weeks of remote working per year for employees who have successfully passed probation. However, the successful candidate will be expected to spend more time in the office initially to support onboarding and gain familiarity with our systems and environment.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity, following the successful completion of their probation period, to opt into participation in the firm's out-of-hours IT support service, which is entirely voluntary and attracts additional remuneration.
