- Monitoring nightly and weekly backups.
- Recommending performance enhancements.
- Supporting 80 staff based mainly in the Northeast of England.
- Supporting their laptops, installed software suites and associated work equipment.
- Liaising with colleagues in the central Cambridge IT team to help resolve support tickets.
- Maintaining an awareness of IT projects across CUP&A and collaborating with colleagues as required.
- Monitoring centralised anti-virus alerts.

**About you**
- You will love supporting staff to make the most of the technology services available to them.
- You have a drive to always provide excellent customer service.
- You have experience working with a service desk ticketing system.
- You have previously worked in a Systems Administrator role.
- You are experienced in managing your own workload.
- Taking on responsibility for support tickets.
- Being flexible in your daily and weekly hours to resolve problems.

If you would like to know more about this opportunity and what will make you successful, please see the full job description attached to the bottom of this vacancy on our careers site.

**Rewards and benefits**

We will support you to be at your best in work and to live well outside of it. In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:

- 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
- Discretionary annual bonus
- Group personal pension scheme
- Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
- Green travel schemes

We are a hybrid working organisation, and we offer a range of flexible working options from day one. We expect most hybrid-working colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location. We will also consider other work arrangements if you wish to work more flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.
- “Please note, Cambridge University Press & Assessment is unable to issue sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Visa route for this role as it does not meet the minimum skill requirements.”_
