IT Assistant

Govanhill Housing Association is a well-established, community-controlled Registered Social Landlord operating within the Govanhill and Merrylee communities of Glasgow. We own and manage around 2,800 homes and provide a Factoring Service to a further 1,500 private owners.

The Association has a substantial Capital Investment Programme, carries out acquisition and improvement of tenemental stock as well as delivering a new build programme. We work closely with our subsidiary company, Govanhill Community Development Trust, whose community development and regeneration services complement our own role as a social landlord.

We are about to commence a major IT system review and upgrade which will necessitate a heavy involvement from current team members. We are therefore looking for an IT Assistant to join our team on a fixed term contract to ensure our existing support is maintained during this period. We are seeking someone with experience of providing IT support, troubleshooting problems and implementing solutions. You will have good technical knowledge and be able to communicate effectively with staff to ensure they use IT and other systems efficiently. You will work well under pressure and be able to deal with issues as they arise.

You will be able to assist with the development of the network infrastructure, both physical and virtual and possess knowledge of how to best protect all environments from external and internal threats. Experience of Microsoft technologies would be desirable, particularly implementation of reporting services (SQL) to enable effective monitoring and reporting on performance against targets. An interest in emerging cloud technologies, such as Office365 would also be beneficial.

You will be educated to at least HND level in a computer related discipline or be able to demonstrate equivalent practical experience in an ICT technical or support role.
