About the role

As a One Desk IT Advisor, you will be the first point of contact for a wide range of IT and student systems enquiries, delivering professional, accurate, and timely support to customers across multiple communication channels.

You will take ownership of customer queries from initial contact through to resolution, providing first-line IT support and guidance on systems, processes, and technologies. This includes supporting IT services, student record systems such as SITS, and other business-critical platforms within a complex Higher Education environment.

Working to agreed service level agreements, you will resolve issues wherever possible at first contact, escalating only when necessary. You will maintain accurate records, manage complex cases, contribute to process improvements, and help ensure a consistently high standard of service delivery.
