Description

As our organisation continues to scale, we’re looking for a customer‑focused IT Support Analyst (Apprenticeship Level) to join our Technology Operations team and play a key role in delivering high‑quality support across the business. This is an exciting opportunity to begin a career in technology within a fast‑growing function at the heart of CFC, supporting a global workforce and ensuring our people have the tools and systems they need to work effectively.

You don’t need to be a technical expert at this stage - what matters most is your mindset. We’re looking for someone with a genuine interest in technology, confidence when dealing with people, and the drive to learn, grow, and take ownership. If you enjoy solving problems, helping others, and working in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, this role offers a strong foundation for long‑term progression.

About the role

In this role, you’ll work within our Desktop Operations team, ensuring the smooth running of our IT operations. You’ll diagnose and resolve technical issues, manage incidents and service requests, and support a wide range of hardware, software, and applications. You’ll also play an important part in onboarding new starters, supporting meeting rooms and events, and contributing to continuous improvement across the team.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across Technology Operations, escalating issues when needed and helping maintain a high standard of service delivery. This is a hands‑on, people‑centric role where your ability to communicate clearly, stay organised, and build strong relationships will be just as important as your technical skills.

Diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues across laptops, desktops, and mobile devices

Assisting users with setting up and configuring IT equipment

Supporting VIP meetings and company‑wide events, ensuring AV and rooms are fully prepared
Participating in team meetings and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
Creating knowledge articles, guides, and processes to support the business
Running bi‑weekly new starter inductions and maintaining induction materials
Managing joiner, mover, and leaver (JML) processes, including account creation and decommissioning
Communicating clearly and consistently with users and colleagues
