IT Service Desk Level 1 Intern

Life. Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.

Join our IT Service Desk team as an IT Service Desk Level 1 Intern and build practical experience supporting colleagues across Smith+Nephew. This is a paid, 12-month internship where you will learn how to solve real technical issues, support users through different contact channels, and develop the confidence to make a meaningful impact from your first steps in IT.

What will you be doing?

As an IT Service Desk Level 1 Intern, you will be one of the first points of contact for internal Smith+Nephew employees who need IT support. You will help colleagues through phone calls, chats and web tickets, using ServiceNow Knowledge Base articles and internal processes to troubleshoot issues, respond to requests and guide users towards helpful tools and the Self-Service portal.

You will learn how to log information accurately, resolve as many incidents and requests as possible at first contact, manage tickets and follow up with users to confirm whether the proposed solution worked. When an issue needs additional support, you will assign it to the right resolving team or escalate major incidents in line with existing processes.

You will also support User Access Management activities through ServiceNow and other available tools, contribute to the Service Desk Knowledge Base, monitor incidents and requests, and help identify recurring issues that may point to wider problems. This role works to a flexible shift schedule.

Planned Start Date: 1st of January 2027

Program Length: 12 months

Location: Wrocław, Poland
