Can you remain calm under pressure, explain solutions clearly and reassure people when technology lets them down?, The role would suit someone with one to two years' IT support experience who is ready to build broader technical knowledge within a professional, fast-paced environment.

Training and support will be provided by experienced colleagues, but you must already understand the fundamentals of IT troubleshooting and be capable of contributing within a busy support environment. Customer service is central to this position. You will be supporting professionals whose work can be significantly disrupted by even a minor technical issue, so patience, resilience and the ability to inspire confidence are every bit as important as your technical knowledge. ## Description Our client is a leading barristers' chambers based in Central London.
