• Pulling together training packs to ensure clients understand how to use their new site’s functions
• Qc’ing your own and other’s work to ensure things are sent out right first time
• Making suggestions around best practice process
• Problem-solving

Ideally, we’d love it if you have:

• Full-stack web development skills (HTML, CSS, JS)
• Knowledge of GIT
• Working knowledge of PHP, MySQL aand WordPress. Even better if you know Laravel too.
• The ability to plan and build custom post types, flexible template components and bespoke WordPress plug-ins

• A self-motivated & independent spirit
• Buckets of enthusiasm and initiative
