Does this sound familiar? Your phone rings again, it’s one of the many routine IT issues, probably from someone who you don’t know and can’t build a long-term relationship with. The process repeats, it’s frustrating as you’re unable to free up time to work on interesting IT projects. It doesn’t have to be like that; there’s a better way.
Stowe will provide you with the opportunity to work as part of an in-house IT team, working on long term projects, building relationships with colleagues and feeling part of a growing company.
Stowe are the largest family law firm in the country and we’re also the fastest growing. But why should you apply?
Why Stowe;
Stowe is the UK's largest specialist family law firm and one of the fastest growing legal businesses in the country. With more than 240 lawyers across 90+ offices, we are building a modern, cloud-first technology environment that helps our people deliver exceptional client service.
Our IT infrastructure, systems and support model are central to that growth. We are investing in modern workplace tools, cloud services, telecoms and AI-enabled applications, and we are looking for an experienced engineer who can help colleagues get the best from them every day.
About our IT role;
You will be joining the IT team as a colleague-facing support engineer for the North of England, reporting into the IT Helpdesk Supervisor and working closely with colleagues across the wider IT function.
This is a hybrid role based on our Harrogate or Leeds office and from home, with regular travel to other offices across your support region and occasional wider business travel.

- Receive, process, prioritise and resolve IT issues from staff in a timely and cost-effective manner.

- Troubleshoot hardware, peripherals, laptops, mobile devices, network connectivity, printing and office equipment.
- Maintain excellent relationships with office partners, managing partners, facilities contacts, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
- Keep up to date with developments in legal technology, AI applications, cloud services and modern support practices.
