Support Technician

The opportunity 

University of the Arts London (UAL) is seeking a proactive and knowledgeable Support Technician to provide exceptional technical equipment support to our students and staff at Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Arts (CCW). 

As a Support Technician CLS, you’ll contribute to the delivery of technical services within the Technical Team in our Central Loan Stores. 

In this full-time, on-site role, you’ll staff the collections/returns desk during daily set opening hours, accurately maintaining the department’s online database and ensuring that equipment is returned in its entirety. You’ll provide general advice to students and staff on how to use equipment properly and safely, administering predetermined policy consistently to ensure an equitable service across colleges.

Please note that this is not a teaching and learning role. You’ll mainly be based at the collections/ returns desk at one of our loan stores, where student/ staff interactions are predominantly transactional. 

This role carries an expectation of cross college working on a rota basis as operationally required.

About you

You’ll have technical knowledge of specialist photographic/video, audio visual and IT equipment and accessories. You’ll be experienced in the use of such equipment. Knowledge of how to troubleshoot a range of equipment issues would be an advantage. You’ll be capable of fault diagnosis and carrying out regular routine maintenance, under guidance from more senior team members. 

Working as part of a team and independently, you’ll have the ability to deal with customer enquiries quickly in a busy environment, ensuring that the experience of each person is positive and satisfactory. Along with a meticulous eye for detail, excellent timekeeping, interpersonal and IT skills are crucial as is the ability to provide oral and written information clearly and concisely. 

This role is customer service orientated, and we would like to hear from candidates who can demonstrate practical experience of providing great customer service, preferably in a fast-paced technical equipment loan/ hire environment.
