Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role is to assist business users with their technical issues in the London office and provide remote
support with the EMEA group when required.
Primarily my role is onsite in the London office, as it is the only office in the UK that maintains a physical
location with onsite technical support. The work is usually 4 days a week in the office and one day a week
from home, which is a study day.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
