This is a role where customer service and communication are absolutely key. If you’re someone who loves tech and actually enjoys talking to people, this is for you. You’ll be providing 1st line and 2nd line technical support across a national network of over 310 merchant sites. Based at our Stockton Heath Service Centre, you will be the primary Systems Support Co-ordinator for hundreds of sites that rely on you to keep the gears turning.

This is a high-interaction Service Desk position where you spend your time solving problems over the phone rather than just staring at an inbox. You’ll be the frontline of technical troubleshooting, diagnosing everything from Windows and O365 hitches to deep-diving into our core ERP system. You’ll take full ownership of the IT ticketing system, managing Active Directory, user permissions, and hardware configuration.

- Operational Liaison: Work closely with the Operational Support team to facilitate onsite activities and support other team members with complex diagnostics.

- Training & Improvement: Help plan systems training courses and materials, while recommending new working practices to improve how the department operates.

- Business Growth: Support the Business Systems Team during the acquisition and integration process of sites as we expand.
