Description
As our organisation continues to scale, we’re looking for a customer‑focused IT Support Analyst (Apprenticeship Level) to join our Technology Operations team and play a key role in delivering high‑quality support across the business. This is an exciting opportunity to begin a career in technology within a fast‑growing function at the heart of CFC, supporting a global workforce and ensuring our people have the tools and systems they need to work effectively.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Technology Operations, escalating issues when needed and helping maintain a high standard of service delivery.
