Job description - the role
What you’ll be doing
Within End User Services, the IT Service Desk is the first point of contact for all Retail and Admin Nationwide colleagues with an IT related query or incident. As an IT Service Desk Agent, you’ll play a central role when it comes to supporting colleagues via telephony or one of our online channels.
Colleagues can choose to contact the IT Service Desk via telephone, our online IT Hub, or by using Live Chat. You’ll monitor these channels and ensure contacts are responded to in a timely manner. You’ll help colleagues with a wide range of IT (and non-IT) queries, incidents and requests.
Where a software or hardware fault needs to be logged, you’ll use our IT Service Management tooling to accurately capture incident information and provide 1st line IT support and troubleshooting. Using the Knowledge Base, you’ll apply technical fixes, adhering to SLAs, and ensure all steps taken are documented. Where an immediate fix is not possible, you’ll route the incident to the correct IT support team, following the Incident Management process.
Focussing on end user satisfaction, you’ll take responsibility for tickets in your queue, ensuring timescales are adhered to and colleagues are kept up to date as their incident progresses.
Typical day:
- Pick up tickets logged overnight.
- Responding to incoming calls on telephone, webchat and self-service portal.
- Troubleshooting issues.
- Escalating trends – to help identify and prevent ongoing issues.
- All internal colleagues – no members
