Job overview

This post is within the ICT Department that requires an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual who responds positively to new challenges. The ICT Support Officer will be responsible for delivering a high quality, professional service to a fast growing user base.

Due to the global pandemic our team is working from home as much as possible, so new staff can expect a warm ‘virtual’ welcome but will need to have the ability to build relationships whilst working from home. Although this has been a change to our usual way of working and has required some adaption to our approach, we’ve found it to be working successfully and applicants should be able to work from home and be comfortable in working in this way until we are able to return to the office.

Main duties of the job

Key responsibilities to include:

- Support, maintain and install IT hardware and software across the Trust in accordance with Trust IT policies and procedures. Troubleshoot connectivity issues on the Local Area Network.

- Respond to enquiries from staff and provide assistance, advice and remote troubleshooting of computer system problems as required as part of the ICT Service Desk service escalating issues when necessary.

-Ensure all Client devices have up to date Anti Virus software and Operating System patches via appropriate Control Management software. 

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

To work in the UK, all candidates who are not UK or Republic of Ireland (RoI) nationals require sponsorship to obtain either a Health and Care visa or Skilled Worker visa, unless you have permission to work via another route. Non UK / RoI candidates wishing to apply should self-assess the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship by visiting Work in the UK.  If you are eligible for the Health and Care visa, application costs are lower and you do not need to pay the annual Immigration Health Surcharge.
