Digital Service Desk Technician

Ashford and St Peters Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (ASPH) are looking to recruit a new Digital Service Desk Technician to our proactive team. We provide a supportive environment which encourages self-development and allows staff to set time aside for further education. We encourage our Service Desk Technicians to work closely with the senior engineering teams to gain valuable experience and to be vocal with their ideas, Using the information provided by users (which may be sketchy and incomplete) either by self-logged tickets, telephone or in person, the post holder will use their knowledge and judgement to decide the best course of action for supporting the user. This could be by resolving the issue immediately or escalating the issue with senior staff and/or national helpdesk systems/3rd party suppliers. The range of issues dealt with includes

• application problems
• hardware faults
• network issues
• lack of user understanding
• software errors
• training needs, and IT related advice requests
• RA support
The candidate will be expected to develop the skills to resolve a growing proportion of calls themselves, either by talking the user through the procedure, or by using Remote Control software to access the user's device directly.
