Junior Web Developer

We are looking to expand our development team with the introduction of a new junior web developer. This role would likely suit someone recently out of university/school ready to start gaining real-world experience using the skills they have been learning (although those with more experience are welcome to apply).

The initial work will likely be dominated with managing content, updates, layout and Back End work for websites/web systems we manage. These are primarily written in Joomla and Wordpress, so some prior experience with these would be highly desirable. Additionally, experience with the Laravel PHP framework would be very beneficial on the web-system side, and there is the option to work more on this side of things from day one if that is a better fit. Beyond that, as part of a small team, there will be the opportunity to hone your skills in particular areas that naturally present themselves as new projects dicate.

The successful candidate would be based in our Horsham office full-time, although there are opportunities for some home working. There is no requirement to use a specific operating system - you can use whatever you are most comfortable with.
