We're looking for a customer-focused IT Service Desk Operator to join the Grampians Health Information Technology team in Ballarat.

• Has strong attention to detail and maintains accurate records.

• Previous experience in an IT Service Desk, Help Desk, Desktop Support or similar technical support environment would be highly regarded.

• Experience with Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, ITSM systems and ITIL practices would also be beneficial, but we encourage applications from candidates who have the right customer-service mindset and a strong willingness to learn.

• An ICT qualification, or an interest in working towards one, would be advantageous.

All applicants must submit both a resume and a separate cover letter. Applications that do not include both documents will not be considered.
