What are we looking for?

• Experience working in IT Support, Service Desk, Desktop Support or IT Service Delivery, ideally within a law firm.
• A good understanding of Microsoft 365, Windows and general IT infrastructure.
• Familiarity with legal IT applications and the demands of supporting a professional services environment.
• Exposure to software deployments, application upgrades or IT change processes would be advantageous, but is not essential.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Confident communication skills and the ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
