Working pattern & location
You’ll be based remotely, with occasional visits to the Birmingham office.
You’ll work eight hours per day, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around your working pattern.
Rather than spending every day chasing an ever-growing list of tickets, you’ll have the opportunity to properly investigate problems, help customers and see issues through to resolution.

- The opportunity to earn a good bonus.

What you’ll actually be doing
You’ll help customers and colleagues solve their IT and telecoms problems, providing a friendly, reassuring and knowledgeable service.
Your role will include:
- Responding to customer support queries.
- Investigating and resolving IT, networking and telecoms issues.
- Managing support tickets through to resolution.
- Using remote monitoring and management tools.
- Explaining technical issues clearly to customers.
- Supporting colleagues when they need additional technical input.
- Escalating more complex issues when appropriate.
- Keeping customers informed throughout the support process.
- Delivering the kind of customer service that makes people feel properly looked after.

- Windows operating systems.
- Microsoft Office.
- Antivirus products.
- PC and server security.
- Active Directory.

What we’re looking for
Ideally, you’ll:
- Have previous experience working in an IT helpdesk or service desk environment.
- Be comfortable using remote monitoring and management tools.
- Enjoy investigating problems and finding practical solutions.
- Care about delivering excellent customer service.
- Be able to explain technical information clearly and patiently.
- Be organised and comfortable managing your own workload.
- Be happy working remotely and travelling occasionally to the Birmingham office.
- Enjoy learning and expanding your technical knowledge.
Experience supporting Microsoft technologies, networking, Wi-Fi or VoIP would be particularly useful.
You don’t need to know everything from day one. What matters is that you’re curious, customer-focused and prepared to keep learning.
A bit about the environment
This is a growing business with plenty of energy and a strong team spirit.
It’s a company that:
- Gives people time to investigate and resolve problems properly.
- Promotes internally.
- Invests in Microsoft training and technical development.
- Encourages people to expand their skills.
