👋 Hi, we're Postworks

We’re a hybrid mail company helping businesses send and receive post online. We make snail mail feel like email, and we’re not stopping there. We’re growing fast, building smart tools, and rethinking how business should work.

We’re a curious, energetic team that cares about our customers and each other. We like people who ask questions, get stuck in, and want to make things better.

💻 About this role

We’re looking for an IT Helpdesk Apprentice to join our team and help keep the technology behind Postworks running smoothly.

You’ll be the kind of person who enjoys solving problems, loves learning how things work, and gets a real sense of satisfaction from helping others. Whether you're setting up a new laptop, fixing a technical issue or supporting colleagues across the business, you'll play an important part in keeping everyone connected.

This is the perfect role for someone starting their career in IT who wants hands-on experience in a growing technology business.

You'll learn on the job, work alongside our experienced IT team, and come away with a Level 3 qualification and practical skills that will set you up for a career in IT.

You should have:

GCSEs in English and Maths, grade 4 (C) or above
A practical interest in technology
Good communication and problem-solving skills
Confidence using computers and learning new systems
