- Provide support for email, calendaring, file access and collaboration, including permissions, mailbox troubleshooting, Teams calling/meetings issues and SharePoint/OneDrive sync problems.
- Support meeting rooms and AV/VC technology (e.g., Teams Rooms), assisting with setup, troubleshooting and preventative checks to minimise meeting disruption.
Knowledge, Security & Continuous Improvement

- Follow IT security policies and good practice (e.g., MFA, secure configuration, data handling). Identify, record and triage security incidents, phishing attempts and suspicious activity promptly, capturing relevant evidence and escalating to the appropriate security owners in line with procedure.
- Contribute to problem management by identifying recurring issues, assisting with root-cause analysis, and recommending or implementing permanent fixes and small automations where appropriate.
