We are seeking a diligent, proactive developer to join our team to work on our website and online learning platform.

This is a great opportunity for an early-career developer to join a growing, award-winning college and contribute to new developments and innovative projects.

With some commercial experience under your belt you will be working on our website as well as new and existing and new projects alongside the senior developer, designer and marketing team.

The main areas of responsibility as part of your role will include:

• Maintaining and developing the company website
• Developing bespoke interactive features for the website
• Developing our e-learning platform (Moodle)
• Helping to develop integrations between our CRM and e-learning platform as well as integrations with third parties.

We see the role as possibly leaning towards backend technologies (PHP), but there would be a mix of skills required across front end and back end technologies.

The college is a leader and fast growing within the distance learning sector. We have an excellent reputation with our students and have received multiple industry awards for excellence. We foresee considerable growth for the business in 2022 and this is a great opportunity to join us at a pivotal time for the college.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to grow their skillset and put their own mark on their work, in a collaborative and supportive environment.

This is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking and growing company where employees are recognised for their effort and skills, and deliver an outstanding distance learning experience to the thousands of students studying with us.
