Summary of role
As a Service Desk Analyst at the BHF, you would be a vital member of a highly talented, customer focused, and enthusiastic team and you would provide the first point-of-contact for end users wishing to receive service from the IT Department.
First impressions are important, and it is therefore essential that you have excellent telephone and customer handling skills to back up your technical and fault diagnosis experience. You will keep the Customer informed of progress against their respective issues and will ensure an effective follow-up to ensure all service has been delivered and completed to the Customers satisfaction.
The role demands a skill level that enables you to resolve almost all issues as they arise and where possible avoid escalation to 2nd line teams. Quick to learn, enthusiastic and self-motivated, you will ensure that the knowledge base is always updated so other team members can learn from your successes and overall performance is maintained and improved.
With a high percentage of Customer’s being in the Retail directorate, you will be required to participate in a weekend cover rota allowing service to our shops and stores to be delivered. Working hours needed to deliver these services are 35 hours/week – staggered in accordance with the support rota

- Occasionally or on request from line management support internal events. This may require some travel to other BHF offices.
- During weekdays you will participate in a rota to ensure effective support cover from 8:00am to 6:00pm
- Mandatory (working from home if preferred) for 1 weekend (Saturday and Sunday) every 6 weeks – this is subject to refinement.
- Occasional anti-social working for project related work where necessary to mitigate the potential adverse business impact of project implementation activities.
