  • Write short how-to guides for common user problems
  • Connect users remotely with a remote support tool to fix issues
  • Reset passwords and unlock accounts in Active Directory and Entra ID

You'll need

  • At least 1 year of help desk or desktop support (not needed for intern posts)
  • Matric plus an IT qualification, such as CompTIA A+ or an IT diploma
  • Patient and friendly with non-technical users
  • Working knowledge of Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365

Helpful, not essential
