    Internal IT Assistant

    The Internal IT Assistant will provide onsite and remote support and maintenance of all systems, devices and applications used internally by the company employees.

    Reporting to the Operations Manager and working closely with the Managed Service Provider and the HR and Admin Manager, you will support employees at all levels and throughout their employment life cycle to work efficiently, compliantly and securely.  Ascertus operates a hybrid working model with employees working from offices in London, Kent and Birmingham, as well as from home, using Office 365, Azure AD (Active Directory) and a range of Cloud Services, which may not make this a good fit for candidates with more traditional IT environment knowledge/experience.

    The other side to the role relates to knowledge and awareness of the company's cyber security strategy and approach and assisting with continuous improvement around information security and privacy. 

    Ideally the role is a full-time position (or a minimum of 25 hours per week Monday to Friday) with regular attendance at both our offices in London and near Smarden, Kent.
