Level 2 Service Desk Analyst
Centacare | Brisbane | On-site | 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Good IT support is more than fixing the issue. It’s making someone’s day easier while you do it.
Centacare is looking for a Level 2 Service Desk Analyst to join our Technology team on a six-month fixed-term contract, providing maternity leave cover.
You’ll be one of the first people our employees turn to when technology isn’t behaving the way it should.
Sometimes it will be an account or login issue. Sometimes it will be Microsoft 365, Windows, Teams or a device that has decided not to cooperate five minutes before an important meeting.
Whatever the problem, we’re looking for someone who can stay calm, ask the right questions, troubleshoot logically and make the experience easy for the person on the other end.
This is a great opportunity for someone with early enterprise service desk experience who is ready to build their technical capability in a larger environment and work alongside an experienced technology team.
About Centacare
Centacare is a purpose-led, not-for-profit organisation supporting children, families, individuals and communities across Queensland.
Our Technology team supports employees across a broad and diverse organisation, helping make sure our people have the systems, devices and support they need to do their jobs well.
Technology is an important part of how we deliver our services, and our Service Desk is often the first point of contact when someone needs help.
That means technical knowledge matters — but so does patience, communication and genuinely good customer service.
The opportunity
As our Level 2 Service Desk Analyst, you’ll provide frontline technology support to employees across Centacare.
You’ll manage and triage service requests, resolve common user, device and account issues and escalate more complex problems to the appropriate technical teams when required.
You’ll work across areas including:
- Microsoft 365
- Windows 11
- Microsoft Teams
- Active Directory
- Microsoft Entra
- User accounts and access
- PCs and end-user devices
- Ticketing systems
- General troubleshooting and incident triage
You won’t be expected to know absolutely everything.
What matters is that you have a solid technical foundation, know how to troubleshoot methodically and are comfortable asking questions when something needs to be escalated.
What you’ll be doing Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Providing first-line and Level 2 technical support to Centacare employees
- Responding to service requests and incidents through our Service Desk
- Troubleshooting user, PC, account and access issues
- Supporting employees with Microsoft 365, Windows 11 and Teams
- Managing user accounts through Active Directory and Microsoft Entra
- Logging, triaging, prioritising and resolving tickets
- Escalating more complex technical issues to the appropriate team
- Keeping users informed while their issue is being resolved
- Working within agreed service levels and helping the team meet SLA expectations
- Maintaining accurate ticket notes and support records
- Supporting a positive customer experience, even when someone is frustrated or under pressure
- Collaborating with other Technology team members to resolve issues
- Completing required compliance and cyber-security training
- Travelling to Centacare sites when required, with access to a shared fleet vehicle
About you You’re probably someone who enjoys solving problems.
You like working out why something isn’t working, but you also understand that the person asking for help may not speak “IT”.
You can explain things clearly without making someone feel silly for asking.
You’re organised, patient and comfortable working through a queue of competing requests while keeping people updated.
You’ll ideally bring:
- At least 6–12 months’ experience in an enterprise Service Desk, Help Desk or technical support environment
- Experience providing technical support in a corporate or enterprise environment
- Familiarity with Microsoft 365 from both the user and administration side
- Working knowledge of Windows 11
- Understanding of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra
- Familiarity with Microsoft Teams administration and user support
- Experience working with a ticketing or service management system
- Good troubleshooting and problem-triage skills
- Strong customer service and communication skills
- The ability to prioritise multiple tickets and work within service-level expectations
- A collaborative approach and willingness to learn
Microsoft certifications would be highly regarded.
Experience within a not-for-profit or community services environment would also be beneficial, but it isn’t essential.
What success looks like You’ll know you’re doing well when:
- Service requests are handled within agreed SLAs
- Employees feel supported and informed
- Tickets are triaged and escalated appropriately
- Your technical knowledge continues to grow
- You work effectively with other Technology teams
- Required compliance and cyber-security training is completed
- You’re contributing to a positive Service Desk experience rather than simply closing tickets

Does this sound like you? If you enjoy technology, solving problems and helping people — and you’re looking for an opportunity to grow your enterprise Service Desk experience — we’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need to have encountered every possible IT problem before.
