2nd Line Support Technician

As a 2nd Line Support Technician, you will be a vital escalation point within our tiered support model. You will work closely with our 1st Line teams and collaborate with the 3rd Line EUC specialists to resolve complex technical issues, support infrastructure improvements, and contribute to meaningful IT projects.

This is a hands on role where customer experience matters just as much as technical capability. You will help keep IT services running smoothly through proactive maintenance, careful change control, and clear documentation - all while building trusted relationships with public sector stakeholders.

• Acting as an escalation point for technical issues that cannot be resolved by 1st Line support
• Collaborating closely with 3rd Line teams on complex incidents, problem management, and projects
• Supporting and maintaining customer IT infrastructure, including regular patching and software updates
• Following robust change control processes and producing clear, accurate documentation
• Assisting with IT projects such as infrastructure changes, deployments, and client onboarding
• Providing professional support via phone, email, and self service portals
• Accurately logging and updating tickets to meet agreed service level agreements (SLAs)
• Participating in an on call rota, no more than one week in every four
• Investing in your own development through training, learning, and professional certifications

A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with a one hour lunch break. This role also offers flexibility to work from home, typically two days per week for a five day working week.

• Proven experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure, including Intune and Entra
