IT Support Technician

Working hours: This role is available on a part-time, job-share or full-time basis.

Salary: £27-34k dependent on experience + attractive benefits package.

Location: Swindon, hybrid working

Closing date for applications: 31st January 2026

The opportunity: 

We are seeking a customer focused IT Support Technician to join our onsite support team, primarily based in Swindon. This is a highly visible role within a large and well known organisation, where you’ll play a key part in delivering day to day IT support to users across the business. While Swindon will be your main location, you’ll also need the flexibility to travel to other customer sites at short notice to provide IT Support services when required. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast paced environment and values delivering a high quality user experience.

What will you be doing? 

In this role, you will act as a key point of contact for users requiring deskside support, providing hands on technical resolution for a wide range of hardware and software issues, as well as supporting moves, changes and service requests. You will take ownership of your own tickets throughout their lifecycle, prioritising your workload effectively to ensure service level agreements are consistently achieved.

You will proactively manage your ticket queue, keeping pended and aged tickets up to date, monitoring SLAs in real time and ensuring that incidents progress smoothly to resolution. Maintaining clear and regular communication with users will be essential, keeping them informed throughout the life of an incident and ensuring they are satisfied with the outcome.

You will ensure that all incidents are accurately documented in the Incident Management System, clearly recording actions taken and final resolutions. High priority and high impact incidents will require particular attention, and you will be expected to handle these with care, urgency and professionalism. You’ll work closely with the Operations Manager as your main escalation point for service delivery issues and coordinate with wider teams when necessary, escalating to Service Delivery Management where appropriate. In addition, you will be encouraged to suggest service improvements and support the implementation of changes that enhance the overall user experience.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a self motivated and collaborative individual with strong technical skills and a customer centric approach. You’ll be comfortable multitasking and adapting in a dynamic, everchanging environment, and you’ll take pride in delivering consistently high standards of work. You’ll enjoy being part of a supportive, motivated team and will be keen to continue developing your technical knowledge and professional skills.

A strong understanding of how IT Services support the wider business is key, along with the ability to translate technical solutions into positive outcomes for end users. You should have hands on experience supporting Windows 10 and later, Microsoft 365, Outlook and Adobe Acrobat, along with remote support tools such as Remote Assist and RDP. Experience with Active Directory, PC hardware and architecture, networking fundamentals, endpoint security solutions such as McAfee or Symantec, and general desktop technologies is important. Exposure to Windows 11 services, including Autopilot and Intune, would be highly beneficial.

You’ll ideally hold Microsoft technical accreditations and have an awareness of ITIL or IT service management principles.
