Background
Swansea University IT Services are going through a rapid period of transformation and reimagining our Service Desk provision to meet the challenges of supporting and enabling a wider £20m investment in IT Services (in areas such as Cyber Security and Networking) will be a key foundational element.
The vision is to reconnect our IT support provision with our customer’s needs, professionalise our services, save us all time and bridge the capability gaps we have.
A new IT Service Desk team will be the public face of IT Services and will set standards in customer advocacy and engagement. Offering specialist support, advice and owning the resolution of Incidents and Problems for customers in a timely and efficient manner will be the cornerstones in achieving our vision.
The IT Service Desk will provide support from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays. We welcome anyone looking for part-time or job-share working arrangements, and can be flexible about working hours, e.g. early start/early finish or late start/late finish.
The opportunity
You will support and enable your colleagues to provide effective, consistent, and high-quality IT support services. You will play a key role in ensuring that Service Desk processes and procedures are used to best effect, and you will be an escalation point for Incidents or Requests that are more complex in nature.
Why You?
We know that people are sometimes put off applying for a job if they don’t tick every box, but we realise that the ‘perfect candidate’ doesn’t really exist.
