What the job involves
We're seeking an IT Support Coordinator to assist our IT Business Partner in the day-to-day operations of our IT team. In this newly created role, you'll be the go-to person for staff both in our London Bridge office and remotely.
As an IT support Coordinator, you’ll be providing first and second line support assisting with troubleshooting operating systems, applications, and network issues. This will include liaising with our service providers and escalating tickets, when necessary, as well as troubleshooting laptops, re-cabling workstations, and replacing faulty docking stations. Additionally, you'll support our video conferencing rooms, manage user accounts through active directory, and address printer issues by coordinating with suppliers to book engineers.
You'll also play a key role in advising staff on best practices, policies, and process improvements, fostering a culture of efficient technology use. Collaboration is key, as you'll work closely with our IT Business Partner to update documentation, handle administrative tasks, and improve asset management processes.
In this role you’ll get to work with colleagues across Prostate Cancer UK and support them in their efficient use of technology and contribute to our overall mission to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.
What we want from you
To be successful as an IT Support Coordinator you’ll have an excellent knowledge of operating systems, hardware and software (especially Microsoft products) or a willingness to learn.
With a strong customer focus, you’ll have previous experience of working in a telephone-based support team using remote control technologies. You’ll also have outstanding communication skills which enable you to deliver accessible advice. Ideally, you’ll be a self-motivated person who can work proactively without supervision and adapt to changing priorities and customer requirements.
If you have an enthusiasm for technology and looking to work for a dynamic and ambitious charity this may be the role for you!
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.
It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
