Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # IT Technician - **Company:** The Oxford Health Company - **Location:** Bicester, UK - **Experience:** Starter - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software Debugging, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Raspberry Pi, Virtual Local Area Networks, Grafana, Plex, Information Technology - **Published:** September 11, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.careerjet.co.uk/job/gb26f574419b77e7ce057e4a7c4972d94b/eaa ## About the Role Genuine curiosity about how things work - a home NAS, Plex server, Raspberry Pi or ESP32 project tells us more than a qualification ever could. If you've ever exposed something at home to the internet and stopped to think about how to do it safely, that's exactly the thinking this job needs. No qualifications required, and no fixed background - whether you're early in your career, have a year or two of IT experience, or are changing careers entirely. Plenty of great people come to tech from other fields, bringing people skills from one life and a homelab habit from the other. A "help them help themselves" instinct - happy to lend a hand, but focused on fixing things at the root so they don't keep coming back. Comfortable working independently day to day, with a habit of keeping in touch - a quick note on progress, snags and wins - since our Systems Architect is mostly remote. Happy to lean on AI tools for debugging, documentation and learning new areas faster. ## Description Standardising the Windows workstations - a standard image and cold spares on the shelf, so a hardware failure means swapping in a replacement, not a rebuild. Working on projects with our Systems Architect - you'll do the hands-on legwork and feed back what you find. As you grow, you'll take on more of the direction yourself. How the role will grow First few months. You'll take on a real project early - the fastest way to learn the estate. You'll also be the first person people message when something's up: not a queue to sit on, but a great way to see how things really work. You'll learn as you go, with someone experienced to lean on. Working together. Mostly you just get on with it, but we like to stay in touch - a quick note on how it's going, a snag, a win, a bit of chat. Nobody will hover asking if it's ready. It's how you stay part of the team while the Architect's remote. Where it can go. As you grow you'll take on more, owning projects and steering their direction - that's how the "junior" comes off the title. There's room to pull the role toward what genuinely interests you: if the instrumented-factory side is your thing, there's IoT and monitoring work with metrics in Grafana; if it's networking, there's VLAN segmentation and tightening our VPN access; there's scope to bring AI deeper into how we work, too. ## Related Videos - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Monitoring as Code - Managing your dashboards at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/753-monitoring-as-code-managing-your-dashboards-at-scale) - [Optimizing Land-Based Fish Feeding with Node-RED](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2032-optimizing-land-based-fish-feeding-with-node-red) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) - [Covid-19 - A crowdsourced map for checking supermarket wait times worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/337-covid-19-a-crowdsourced-map-for-checking-supermarket-wait-times-worldwide) ## Related Articles - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
