- Developing disaster recovery, continuity and troubleshooting documentation
- Improving internal portals, task management tools and digital workflows
- Maintaining and updating the company website

- Experience delivering IT projects end-to-end without relying on large teams
- Confident working with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Planner and CRM/email tools
- Comfortable supporting websites and digital platforms
- A practical, delivery-focused mindset - someone who enjoys doing the work themselves
- Strong communication skills and the ability to support non-technical users
- Well organised, adaptable and comfortable managing multiple priorities
