The Team

The Global Service Desk are a first-line response team who are fully supported to be able to address any IT issues that may arise for our 4000+ PA colleagues, including a dedicated line for our external clients. Being based in the Cambridge office we predominantly support our users by phone, email and in-person, delivering excellent customer service.

Individuals are provided with on-the-job training to be able to resolve common queries and how to seek advice on escalating more serious issues. There is a great support network within the department and particularly within the team, with all members encouraged to lean on and support each other.

The Service Desk team can be the first step to starting your career at PA. We believe in equipping our Service Desk Analysts with the tools and techniques to enable them to develop the skills necessary to progress and pursue their career ambitions, should you wish to.

Access will be provided to our training platforms so team members can enhance and grow the skills needed. Typically, within their first two years our team members have found the specialism that they love and have moved into other areas of the department, with some moving into consulting within the wider organisation.
