Technical Support Analyst
at Get Living London in London (Published at 04-10-2023)
Introduction:
We are Get Living, and we're leading the charge for a better way to rent homes.
Creating big-city neighbourhoods is what we do best. Every community we build creates lasting social, environmental and commercial value, and because people want more connected, fluid and meaningful lives, we empower our tenants to rent on their terms. We manage more than 4,000 homes across London and Manchester - and we're growing! We need people who share our passion and vision to join us. We're dynamic and make every moment count: just as we empower our tenants, you'll access opportunities for success at every stage in your career.
Our technology is key to what we do, and with doubling the size of our business over the next 2 years we are going through a considerable amount of change as we upgrade our systems and processes.
Who we are looking for:
We are looking for someone with a passion for technology who enjoys working in an energetic environment where no two days are the same. There will be lots of change and sometimes it wont always be clear what the right answer is, so being comfortable with ambiguity and willingness to adapt is key to success. Customer service is vital, and willingness to help and go the extra mile is quite often more important than knowing the answer first time.
However, technical skill is also important and so have a good understanding of Microsoft technologies with experience of supporting a varied userbase is essential.
This is not a remote role as being in front of our colleagues and supporting them face to face is essential. We have sites in Stratford (London), Elephant & Castle, Southwark, and Manchester, with new sites due to open in Lewisham and Maidenhead in the next 12 months. The role will be predominately London based but travel to other locations will be required.
Most important being willing to learn and grow, and have fun whilst doing it!
