MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Application Support, Incident and Request Management
- Act as a front-line responder within the Application Support team, resolving incidents and service requests raised by users.
- Take end-to-end ownership of assigned incidents, service requests and problems through to confirmed resolution, without waiting for repeated prompting.
- Maintain a clear understanding of the status, business impact, dependencies, risks and next actions for all assigned work.
- Assess and document operational, financial and user impact so that issues are prioritised by impact, urgency, deadlines and risk, not ticket volume alone.
- Provide clear, timely and business-focused updates throughout the issue lifecycle, including current status, actions, risks and next steps.
- Escalate ageing, stalled or high-risk issues before service levels or business commitments are missed.
- Apply the organisation’s incident, request, problem, change and knowledge management processes consistently.
Evidence, Data and Integration Support

- Challenge incomplete, inconsistent or unclear information and escalate where the correct action cannot be determined safely.

Problem, Supplier and Continuous Improvement Management
- Identify recurring issues, support root cause analysis and ensure agreed corrective and preventative actions are progressed to completion.
- Manage assigned issues with third-party suppliers, provide complete evidence, challenge insufficient responses and escalate delays proactively while retaining internal ownership.
- Identify and implement process improvements, automation opportunities and self-service capabilities that improve reliability or reduce avoidable support demand.
Knowledge Management, Training and Release Support
- Maintain support guides, knowledge articles, procedures and training materials so they reflect current system functionality and processes.
- Provide training to new and existing users and identify knowledge gaps that can be addressed through targeted education.
- Develop strong functional knowledge of the organisation’s bespoke applications and business processes, becoming a trusted point of contact for users and internal teams.
- Support the planning, testing and operational readiness of application
releases, changes and enhancements, including user acceptance testing and
post-release validation. - Review support procedures, known issues and business communications
before deployment, and communicate relevant changes clearly to users. Participate in planned out-of-hours support, release activities and incident
response when required, including reasonable flexibility to support
colleagues and business operations across different time zones.
