Job Introduction
Technology is a cornerstone for Yorkshire Housing’s ambitions to become the most innovative housing organisation in the country. To help us get there, we need excellent foundations in place.
We’re recruiting for two Service Desk Analysts to provide top-notch, first-line technical support to our ICT users. This is a customer-focused role where you'll use your tech skills and great communication to sort out issues and handle service requests. It's all about making sure our teams get the support they need, in a way that’s clear and helpful.
We believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go so if you want to work for a company who are truly flexible and where you are valued then this could be the role for you!
What we’re all about
You can probably already tell that we’re not your typical housing provider! With around 20,000 homes (and more in the pipeline), we’re on track with our growth plan to build 8,000 new homes across Yorkshire.
We’re dedicated to creating exceptional customer experiences along the way and are on a mission to build a culture that prioritises excellence, innovation, and customer obsession.
What will you be doing?
As a Service Desk Analyst, you’ll be part of a great team. You’ll be reporting to a Senior Service Desk Analyst, working alongside a group of tech-savvy pros to provide first-line support to colleagues across the business. Whether it’s a technical issue, a software hiccup, or a simple service request, you’ll be the person they turn to for a solution. You’ll also be keeping an eye on tasks, making sure to prioritise them based on urgency and in line with our service level agreements.
Your support will help teams across different areas of the business feel confident and empowered using our technology to its fullest.

Working in this role, you will be part of a rolling rota, working shift patterns between 0800 – 1600 and 1000 – 1800, Mondays - Fridays. This is to ensure that our Service Desk is covered during operating hours.
