An exciting permanent full-time opportunity has arisen to join our busy Isle of Wight Council Corporate Application IT team.
Your work will be varied providing specialist technical support, administration, assisting with a large project implementation and development for key Isle of Wight Council corporate applications used by both our internal and external customers.
