## Job Content

### Job overview

Do you enjoy helping people and making things easier when they are under pressure? Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a Service Desk Analyst (Entry level) to join our Digital Services Service Desk.

Our Service Desk is the front door to Digital Services, supporting colleagues across our City and Southmead Hospital Operating Units, Weston, our wider hospital sites and, as services evolve, potentially wider care settings. You will be part of the team that connects thousands of colleagues with the right digital help, so they can keep services running safely for patients.

This is first and foremost a customer service role. You do not need to know every technical answer on day one. What matters most is that you listen well, stay calm, ask good questions, record information accurately, keep colleagues updated and take pride in getting people to the right outcome.

You will log incidents and requests, provide friendly first-line support, carry out routine troubleshooting within agreed guidance, use approved tools where appropriate, and escalate clearly when specialist support is needed. Technical confidence is welcome, but curiosity, kindness, accuracy and ownership are essential.

If you want a meaningful entry point into Digital Services, with the chance to learn, and with strong potential for career development while contributing to a joined-up Bristol FT service supporting excellent care, we would love to hear from you.
