Looking to break into the tech industry or take the next step in your IT Support career? This is a chance to join a growing software company where you'll do far more than log tickets. You'll be hands on with customers, solving real problems, and developing skills that will set you up for a career in technical support.


The Company

This company has been helping organisations work smarter for over 15 years, developing a cloud based software solution that streamlines business operations and improves efficiency. From its early days as a small start up, it has grown steadily, establishing a reputation for innovation, reliability, and exceptional service. Today, it supports a diverse range of clients across the UK, continuously evolving its software to meet changing business needs.

The product itself is highly specialised, while it's used widely, the team has kept the company agile, constantly looking for new ways to improve workflows, automate processes, and deliver real value to customers. Employees are encouraged to contribute ideas, try new approaches, and develop processes that make the company and its clients more successful.


The Role

As part of the support team, you'll be the first person customers turn to when they need technical help. You'll manage queries by phone and email, resolve most issues on the same day, and where necessary, log in remotely to guide clients through fixes.

Because you'll have direct client contact, you'll quickly see the impact of your work. From software support through to hardware and network troubleshooting, you'll gain exposure across both the company's own SaaS application and its internal systems. Over time, you'll also have the chance to contribute ideas to improve internal processes, run client training sessions, and mentor new starters, making this a role that develops as you do.


About You

You'll have a strong interest in technology and problem solving, and a natural curiosity that drives you to learn and take on new challenges. Success in this role comes from being eager to develop your skills, ask questions, and explore how systems work, you'll be supported every step of the way, but your enthusiasm and initiative will make all the difference.

Clear and confident communication is essential, both when helping clients and when working with colleagues. You should be comfortable guiding users through processes, explaining technical issues in plain language, and running informal training or demonstrations as needed.

Being a good cultural fit is just as important as technical ability. You'll thrive if you are collaborative, can stay calm under pressure, and know how to prioritise tasks effectively. Personality counts, the team values people who bring energy, character, and a positive attitude to the workplace.

This role could suit:

** Someone with IT helpdesk or service desk experience looking to broaden their skills.

** An IT or Computing graduate who is motivated to launch a career in technical support and wants hands on experience with both internal systems and a specialist SaaS application.

A full UK driving licence is desirable, as occasional client site visits may be part of the role in future.

Package & Benefits

This role offers a supportive and flexible working environment with hybrid working (three days in the York office) and a modern office space with on site parking, socials, and the occasional pizza Thursday. The salary range is £24,000-£27,000, and you'll benefit from structured training and development opportunities to grow your career. Additional benefits include:

** 25 days holiday, rising to 30 with service, plus bank holidays.

** Health, life assurance, and pension.

** Regular salary reviews and clear progression opportunities.

** A sociable culture with quarterly events, table tennis, pool in the office, and team socials.


Why Apply?

This is a role where you'll be solving problems, building relationships, and contributing to the success of a growing software business. With full training, genuine career opportunities, and a positive working culture, it's the perfect move if you want to combine your technical knowledge with customer facing skills in a role that makes a difference every day.

Candidates

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton
