Shands IT Helpdesk has an open position

Last time we had a position I posted here and got a lot of positive feedback, so I’m posting our newest position. Here is a link to that thread in case you want to see the answers to any questions that were asked.

I am the supervisor of the UF Health IT helpdesk and we have an L1 position to fill. As an L1, your responsibility is to answer phones and remotely help our customers (other UF Health employees). We are a helpdesk, not a call center, so our goal is not to answer as many calls as possible, go through a basic script, and create a ticket for someone else to deal with. We have a centralized support model, so every single IT request is funneled through us to either resolve or route to the team that can resolve it. This means as an L1, you need to have good troubleshooting skills and customer service skills.

This is a Shands position (about 60% of the team are Shands employees and 40% UF employees) and the advertised pay rate is $20.65 - $26.11 per hour. This is an excellent way to get your foot in the door in IT at Shands.

If you are interested, please apply here. Let me know if you have any questions.
