The role

We are looking for an IT Support Officer on a fixed term variable hours contract (with an average weekly commitment of up to 3 hours) to support the CRANE Programme at the Department of Computer Science.

The post-holder will report to the Programme Manager and will provide IT support to the CRANE Programme, supporting the development, implementation, maintenance and troubleshooting of systems used across the Programme, while working collaboratively to resolve technical issues, optimise system performance and ensure IT solutions effectively support operational and project requirements.

CRANE is an EPSRC-funded national 'network plus' designed to strengthen the UK Cyber Security Research Community. It integrates researchers, business, government, and third sector organisations around contemporary research challenges. The network organises a variety of workshops and meetings, offering small grants to researchers and aims to act as a single 'point of contact' for UK cyber security research. It will leave a lasting legacy by enabling the creation of a new inter-disciplinary permanent learned society.

About You

You will have experience supporting and troubleshooting IT systems, ideally including CRM platforms, APIs and integrations, alongside a proven ability to manage technical projects and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Your supporting statement must clearly demonstrate how you meet each of the essential selection criteria listed in the job description. Applications that do not include a supporting statement or CV, or fail to address the criteria, will not be considered.
