Employer description:

VCI Systems is an established and respected IT service provider in the Thames Valley, with a reputation built upon its core values of honesty and accountability.  VCI looks after the networks, systems and hardware of over 80 small and medium-sized businesses with an end user headcount of around 1,000 individuals. 

VCI prides itself on an attention to detail which ensures a consistent, reliable and high standard of support for its clients.  If you’re looking to develop your ICT abilities and help fuel the growth of a highly successful small business, this could be the role for you.

Responsibilities:

VCI’s technical support team is the engine room of the business, providing support for predominantly Windows-based desktop PCs and laptops, along with peripherals such as tablets, smartphones, and printers.  The support team also oversees the proactive management and monitoring of client devices, networks and infrastructure including firewalls, routers, switches, corporate Wi-Fi solutions and cabling.

Most of the support is delivered remotely from our Pangbourne office with opportunities to work on-site for installation and on-site maintenance. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of what we do, and the successful candidate will be working as part of a team to continue delivering exceptional service experiences that exceed expectations and foster long-term relationships with our valued clients.

Full training and support will be provided along with encouragement to develop and demonstrate an ability to work independently. Working within a small company, the candidate will also have a passing involvement with every facet of a running business, making this a perfect introduction to the working world.

Desirable skills:

  • An ingrained passion for IT and systems
  • An enjoyment of problem solving with an ability to apply a logical approach to troubleshooting
  • An instinctive attention to detail
  • The capacity to communicate clearly and confidently with people at all levels
  • A natural time management discipline, especially on scheduling and prioritising tasks
  • A passion for continual development and self-improvement
  • A full clean driving license would be highly advantageous

Entry requirements:

  • 3 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades 4+ (A-C) in any subject
  • GCSE Maths and English (or equivalents) at grades 3+ (D or above)
  • Prospective apprentices must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level as this apprenticeship is in a similar subject

You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.

If you hold international equivalents of the above qualifications, at the time of your application you must be able to provide an official document that states how your international qualifications compare to the UK qualifications. 

For more information please visit the UK ENIC website.

Working week: 

37 hours per week, Monday to Thursday 9am – 5:30pm, Friday 9am – 5pm

Benefits: 

  • We have proven experience with keeping apprentices
  • Pool table in the office
  • Pension scheme

Future prospects:

90% of QA apprentices secure permanent employment after completing: this is 20% higher than the national average.
