• Someone keen to learn, grow, and potentially step into a full Network Manager role in the future

Desirable qualifications (not essential):

• CompTIA A+ / Network+

• Microsoft or Google certifications

• ITIL Foundation

• Degree or diploma in IT

This is a great chance to work in a values-led, people-first environment where you'll be supported and encouraged to develop professionally. Whether you're an experienced IT Technician or 1st/2nd Line Support Analyst ready for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
