We are modernising our technology foundations, digitising the processes of the university to transform experience for students and staff, and partnering across the university to drive differentiation in UCL education and research.

Our Faculty IT & Partnering team are currently recruiting an (Faculty) IT Support Specialist to help support the activities of the Faculty of Brain Sciences.

As an IT Support Specialist, you'll be based onsite providing customer focused support both in-person and remotely across the faculty for a range of IT services. You'll also proactively engage with customers to develop ways in which IT can improve their work through sharing your knowledge and developing specialist solutions for academic users.

Additionally, as we have adopted an Agile working environment you'll be part of the Faculty IT product team contributing to the support and development of the portfolio.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Actively engage with customers to identify opportunities for improvement – Not waiting for the customer to come to you, you will actively seek out ways in which IT solutions can improve your customers ways of working.
