Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Technician
Are you skilled in delivering 2nd line support? Enjoy working as part of a team? Feel you can make a difference in supporting West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a skilled 2nd line DDaT Technician to join our existing team who currently work on a number of DDaT projects as well as technically support both our front line operational crews and other functions that all work closely together to make West Yorkshire a safer place.
Do you have the skills to hit the ground running, use your own initiative and work closely as a team? You will be expected to contribute your existing experience and knowledge to achieving BAU service level targets whilst also helping drive critical projects forward.
You should have demonstrable skills and experience in end user computing and AV support – both hardware and software, Microsoft365 and basic network support.
We offer an excellent package, including flexible working arrangements, Local Government Pension Scheme, free parking, an employee assistance programme, training and development, sports and social clubs with free use of gym. Job share applicants welcome.
The post is subject to a satisfactory Standard Disclosure and Barring Service Check and the possession of a current valid driving licence, as you will need to travel between sites throughout West Yorkshire.
Joining a first-rate organisation, you will have the job satisfaction of knowing each day that you are contributing to the success of one of just six metropolitan fire and rescue services in the UK, supporting around 950 firefighters who work round the clock, plus around 300 support staff, who help people and save lives.
We are a caring organisation; we promote an environment of inclusivity and learning, and welcome people from all walks of life – just as long as you can show commitment to our values such as integrity and teamwork.
