More about your role

As our Incident Lead, you will take ownership of the end-to-end management of IT incidents, ensuring services are restored quickly and disruption to the business is minimised. You'll lead and coordinate Major Incidents, acting as the key escalation point for high-priority issues and driving a consistent, controlled response across IT teams and third-party suppliers.

You'll maintain strong operational control throughout the incident lifecycle, ensuring incidents are logged, prioritised and managed in line with agreed standards and ITIL-aligned processes. You'll also facilitate post-incident reviews, providing insight into root causes, identifying trends, and feeding improvements into Problem Management. Alongside this, you'll deliver clear reporting on incident performance and continuously enhance processes, tooling and governance.

At Places for People, we are committed to a safe working environment so a basic DBS check is mandatory.
