If you’ve done a solid year (or more) on an IT helpdesk and you’re starting to feel boxed in — rushed calls, endless handovers, no time to actually fix things this might be the step up you’ve been waiting for.
This is a 1st Line Support role inside a large, well-established enterprise organisation where you’re trusted to own incidents, not just log them and also you get time to think, troubleshoot, and learn.
You’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative IT team based onsite in Hinckley (Hybrid – 2 days per week), supporting users across the UK. The environment is busy but supportive, and you’ll be exposed to real systems, real projects, and real responsibility.
You’ll be the first point of contact for internal users.
You’ll:
Log, prioritise, and troubleshoot a wide range of issues
Support technologies across Azure Cloud, CISCO networking, telephony, M365, and much more
Take more ownership of the calls you pick up, seeing issues through, not passing them off
Escalate intelligently to 2nd and 3rd line when needed, working closely with senior engineers
Deliver a genuinely high standard of service, aligned to SLAs You’ll also get exposure to group-wide IT projects and access to internal progression to keep developing.
What you’ll need:

12+ months’ experience in a busy IT Helpdesk / 1st Line Support role
Confident communication and strong customer service skills
Experience with Windows 10/11, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, MS Office
A basic understanding of TCP/IP and networking
ITIL awareness
Why join?
This is initially a 6 month rolling fixed term contract with the opportunity to transition to permanent.
