  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My daily duties surround supporting 3 IT Service Management Toolsets (ITSM) as well as producing analytical reports on a daily/weekly basis. My responsibilities include carrying out daily support activities such as incident resolution within the agreed SLA, responding to colleagues email, telephone and other queries regarding the above applications. Other roles include producing a weekly report reminding Service Leads of Incidents which are about to breach SLA or have already done so. These reports require a script/query to be run in HP Service Manager 7 in order to extract the Incident details.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • At first it was great - it's a fantastic salary for an apprentice and not many other places would offer such a good package. However, I have now finished my apprenticeship and still no word on a pay increase.
