1st Line Technical Support

If you are looking to kickstart your career in IT and Customer Service is your thing, this role could be for you.

As a 1st Line Technical Support team member, you’ll be delivering a key IT triage service and rapid response service to all Aster group colleagues in the use of technology.

Day to day you will find yourself delivering excellent customer service, making sure that you provide up to date progress reports, avoiding the use of jargon and communicating in a way that supports your customer’s needs.

You’ll be documenting fixes and escalating incidents and requests to other colleagues in the IT team when extra support is required.

You will be aware of repeating issues and will understand the need to highlight these, to ensure they are managed and resolved.

We’ll look to develop you in the role and salary increments will be paid once role specific training has been completed.

About you

You will be confident in your organisation and time management skills, and you will be able to adapt your day due to changing priorities.

You’ll have a customer service background and providing great customer service will be really important to you.

You will hold strong communication skills, both written and verbal.

It’ll be great if you have experience in delivering IT services to colleagues who are not confident with technology. Having a calm approach and adjusting your communication style will be a natural skill.

You will see yourself as analytical, with a logical approach and won’t be concerned about asking for help if you need it.

The role will support colleagues across our whole operating region and there will be times that you are required to be in one of our office HUBs. Ideally, you will be within an hour’s travel of at least one of our main offices, Devizes, Andover, Wells or Poole.

What’s in it for me

We invest in our colleagues because we know if they have a better day at work, the service our customers receive will be better. The Aster Offer is our offer to our colleagues to ensure they have a great day at work and includes things like:
