About the role
You'll be the person the Help Desk team turns to as the escalation point, the mentor, and the one who keeps 24/7 coverage running smoothly, even when it means stepping in yourself.
What you'll do:
- Supervise, mentor, and develop two Help Desk team members through 1:1 coaching and group training
- Act as the primary escalation point for issues raised by the team, resolving what you can and escalating what you can't
- Manage rostering and workforce planning to ensure consistent 24/7 coverage, including covering shifts when needed
- Build and maintain Help Desk procedures and protocols, and drive ongoing improvements
- Communicate across departments and be the link between the Help Desk and other teams, Program Managers, and Service Delivery
- Own daily, weekly, and monthly reporting on team and program performance, including KPI and SLA metrics
- Support recruitment, onboarding, and training of new Help Desk team members.
This position operates on a 24/7 shift pattern and may be rostered to provide support for normal Helpdesk shifts. The successful candidate is required to complete pre-employment checks including a criminal history check and driving history check as part of the offer process.
