Oxygen Conservation is entering one of the most important chapters of its growth. Expanding our IT support and accelerating our adoption of AI across the whole organisation are crucial to our next steps. We want an IT Coordinator who can move at pace, anticipate our needs before they arise, and help the whole team get substantially more from AI. This requires someone with genuine curiosity, strong interpersonal skills, solid technical foundations, and the kind of drive that makes things happen without being prompted.
As passionate as you likely are about IT, to be truly fulfilled you might be looking for more. You may be seeking a role that’s challenging and rewarding in equal measure, amazing colleagues, a culture of care for people, and a mission you believe in. That is what you will find with Oxygen Conservation.
We are working hard to fight the climate crisis and reverse the biodiversity collapse. The team is small by design, fast-moving by necessity, and deeply committed to everyone who works with us. We care about the people in this team, and we want to give you the opportunity to make a real difference, not just to our IT infrastructure but to how the whole organisation does its best work every single day.
ABOUT YOU
Are you curious, organised, and genuinely motivated to help people? The kind of person who takes pride in fixing a problem before someone else notices it, who follows up without being asked, and who brings energy to every interaction, whether you’re troubleshooting a connectivity issue or tracking down a missing document. Here is a snapshot of the strengths you’ll bring:
ENVIRONMENT
IMPACT
Strong knowledge of IT fundamentals, hardware, software, and connectivity, and the curiosity to keep learning.
ADVENTURE
TOGETHERNESS
At Oxygen Conservation, character matters more than capability. We recruit for potential, not experience. Of course, the IT foundations need to be there, because you’ll be trusted with the systems the whole team relies on but the service mindset matters more. And the genuine curiosity about AI and the future of work matters most of all.
We are committed to having a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. You might have skills in some, but not all, of the areas above. Whatever your background, we would love to hear from you if you think you can make a real difference with Oxygen Conservation.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The IT Coordinator will work within the People and Performance team and will be OC’s primary internal IT contact. You will work alongside Oxygen House, our IT partner, in a genuinely collaborative relationship, building toward greater OC independence over time. You are joining at an exciting moment as we scale and invest in how our team uses technology. You will be hands-on from day one, and the role is yours to shape.

Own the practical side of joiners, movers and leavers - accounts, access and devices, so people are productive on day one and access is removed promptly when they leave.
Maintain organised records, including our asset register, software and licence records, and access documentation, to ensure information is always accurate and accessible.
AI and Technology Adoption
IT Operations and Improvement
Maintain and improve IT documentation, processes, and systems to ensure they remain accurate, useful, and easy to follow.
