Responsibilities
Who we are looking for:
We are seeking an experienced and motivated IT & Network Support Officer to join our team on a 6-month fixed-term contract, supporting the delivery of key digital transformation projects.
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled IT professional to play a central role in implementing and supporting SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 across the organisation. You will contribute to the successful deployment, configuration, and management of these platforms, ensuring effective collaboration, data integrity, and secure access to digital resources.
Working as part of a small, dedicated IT team, you will provide technical support to users, ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of the organisation’s systems and networks. Your work will include maintaining servers and end-user devices, installing, and configuring hardware and software, and managing network and data security.
