united kingdom focusgov Full time

focusgov are a digital agency working with over forty local authorities throughout the UK. We create digital solutions such as mobile apps, websites and bespoke applications, for social care. Our work helps the public sector support vulnerable and disadvantaged people such as children in care, families with disabled children, care experienced young people, families who need additional support and adults who are seeking social care.

We are fully remote, our team is based across the UK from Bristol to Scotland. We meet up ‘in person’ a few times a year to say hello and make sure everyone recognises everyone; but we are on Teams every day and work closely and collaboratively despite our distances. Our projects and work is governed via our ISO27001 and ISO9001 certified procedures. Work / life balance is important to us, we have in-team mental health first aiders and offer the opportunity to everyone to undertake MHFA training.

We are looking for a Junior Developer to join our technical team. This is a great opportunity to help us build more innovative digital services in the Tech4Good space. 

Our tech stack is based around the following: HTML, CSS/SASS, Tailwind, VueJS, Git/GitHub, Ruby on Rails .

Digital Accessibility (WCAG) is equally important to us.

The main responsibility for this role will be to support our existing projects and services. We use ClickUp (but will soon be moving to Teamwork) to manage tasks and our new Junior Developer will work their way through tickets, liaising with other Developers and ensuring our Client Services team are up to date with progress. This is a great way to get introduced to the work we do, our codebases and our processes. Over time, we will throw more complicated work your way, and soon you will be taking on larger projects and entire builds, learning from our enthusiastic and experienced team as we go. 

You will pick up lots of skills and real-world experience across Ruby on Rails, Tailwind, Vue.js and you may follow a path that takes you into full time Rails development. Or, you may drift more towards the front-end using Vue and HTML. We will provide support and training wherever you choose to specialise. We have a culture of internal knowledge sharing and also provide opportunities for external training and encourage participation at relevant networking events.

We are keen to meet people who:

  • are able to demonstrate knowledge and previous use of the tech listed above but definitely including the ‘core’ tech: HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
  • an understanding of basic internet infrastructure: SSL, API’s, cross-device development etc.
  • can manage multiple tasks at once, not get flustered, can communicate clearly.
  • have a positive attitude and are ready to get stuck into learning new technologies and skills.
  • are able to work remotely 100% of the time.

Knowledge of accessibility and WCAG would be significant for us as this role is likely to get stuck into ongoing accessibility testing of our apps and websites.

We are offering:

  • salary dependent on capability; we anticipate a salary between £28k and £32k, if you have more experience then a higher salary may be available.
  • private medical insurance with Bupa,
  • employee assistance programme,
  • wellbeing check-ins including support from trained mental health first-aiders,
  • 28 days holiday plus additional close down over Christmas, and birthdays off,
  • NEST pension,
  • lots of opportunity for career progression, learning and development.

Our agency is family-owned and managed and has been trading for over twenty years. We have a culture that is professional but laid back, where people are given the opportunity to thrive without micro-management and where everyone makes a difference and makes their mark. 

Please note this is a fully remote role and so we are happy to meet candidates from throughout the UK. A full job specification for this role is available on request.

Please no agencies, thank you.

Please only apply for this role if you are UK-based, able to work remotely and can meet the criteria detailed above.
