IT Customer Support Technician
Job Type : Permanent, Full Time
Salary :
Do you enjoy working with computers and helping people? Our client is the UK’s leading provider of specialist EPoS systems to the independent retail sector. Their dominant position in the industry is largely down to their best-in-class support, delivered by the passionate, talented in-house support team.
Scout Recruiting is now recruiting on their behalf for Technical Support Agents to work directly with their customers to educate them on features, diagnose issues and carry out remote remedial work to the software. Day-to-day, they work with Linux (Debian) and MySQL and this is a great opportunity for those with skills or an interest in these areas.
Every member of the support team also receives direct support from their colleagues, supervisors and management, so a problem for you can be solved by all. They are passionate about training and skill development, so an advanced knowledge of these platforms isn’t required from day one.
My client is also an incredibly compassionate employer who believes that flexibility and understanding are fundamental to creating the kind of workplace that their teams want to be part of. Some examples of this are the option for remote working, bank holidays included in addition to 25 days of holiday, bonus schemes, an on-site recreational room and events organised by both the company and the staff.
Ask any member of the team and they’ll tell you how welcoming they are all, and they can’t wait to welcome you and help you grow both professionally and as an individual.
