• Maintain IT documentation, access records, equipment and operational procedures.
• Contribute to system testing, releases and wider technology projects.

• Evidence of improving IT services, processes or procedures.
• Strong prioritisation, delegation and independent decision-making skills.
• Excellent communication, organisational and customer-service abilities.
• A relevant degree or recognised professional IT qualification.

Experience with in manufacturing, ITIL certification, Windows Server administration or technology project delivery would be advantageous but is not essential.

• Salary of £40,000-£50,000
  , with potential flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
• One home-working day each week by agreement.
• A visible position with genuine ownership and decision‑making authority.
• The opportunity to lead an established team and shape how IT services are delivered.
