Remote Recruitment is hiring an IT Helpdesk Agent to support a UK employer's staff from South Africa. You will be the first person people reach when something stops working, and the reason they get back to work quickly.

Good first-line support is half diagnosis and half reassurance. This role suits someone who can do both without making anyone feel foolish for asking.
Key Responsibilities

- Respond to first-line support requests by phone, email and chat.

- Diagnose and resolve common hardware, software and account issues.

- Log and track tickets through to resolution.

- Escalate complex problems with clear, complete notes.

- Guide users through fixes in plain language.

- Maintain documentation so recurring issues get faster to solve.

What You Will Need

- Experience in IT support or a helpdesk role.

- Familiarity with Windows, Microsoft 365 and common ticketing tools.

- Clear spoken and written English.

- Patience and genuine problem-solving instincts.

- A reliable laptop and stable connection.

Working Hours

- Full-time position.

- Fully remote, based in South Africa.

- 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST).
