This is a fantastic opportunity to build on your existing expertise in a fast-paced, supportive, and varied environment--contributing to the delivery of high-quality IT services across the Royal Veterinary College (RVC).
In this hands-on role, you will work closely with the IT Resources Manager, colleagues across the IT department, and the Business Information Unit (BIU) to provide outstanding 1st and 2nd line support to students and staff. Based primarily at our Camden campus, you will also occasionally travel to our Hawkshead campus to support and maintain over 2,000 University-managed Windows systems.
Your responsibilities will include diagnosing and resolving technical issues across a wide range of hardware, software, and operating systems--including audio-visual equipment. You will also offer guidance and support to students with their personal devices, making every day varied and rewarding.

Experience in higher education is highly desirable, along with a solid background in troubleshooting, technical problem-solving, and analytical thinking. You should also be confident working with both technical and non-technical colleagues to ensure seamless support across the institution.
We are currently the QS number 1 ranked veterinary school in the world and a great not-for-profit organisation to work for. The College's total reward package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, and free sports/gym facilities, with campuses in Camden and leafy Hertfordshire. A Working from Home Policy is in operation providing hybrid working opportunities as appropriate.
