IT Apprentice (Level 3)

Based within the School of Biological Sciences, the Department of Biochemistry is a globally recognized hub for research and education, drawing talent from across the world. We are seeking an IT Apprentice to assist us in delivering a robust digital infrastructure that our diverse scientific initiatives depend upon. In this role, you will work toward a Level 3 qualification while providing hands-on technical support to maintain the vital IT services that power our department.

We are looking for a natural problem solver who is genuinely excited by the intersection of people and technology.

This includes achieving your CompTIA A+ credentials, a powerful asset for any IT professional. Your schedule will include a minimum of 20% dedicated study time during work hours, though you should also expect to invest some personal time into exam preparation and coursework.
