One of my longstanding clients — a fantastic organisation I've placed several contractors with, all of whom love working there — is urgently looking to fill this Senior Full Stack Developer role.
This isn't just another contract. It's a chance to plant real roots in one of the UK's most meaningful digital transformation programmes, working on services that millions of people rely on every day.
Why you'll love this role
You'll be the technical backbone of a growing (and wonderfully ambitious) team — mentoring junior developers, shaping architecture decisions, and getting hands-on across the full stack. No two days look the same: one minute you're deep in code, the next you're in front of stakeholders explaining the "why" behind a technical call. If you thrive on variety and love helping others level up, this is your kind of place.
What you'll bring
- Full stack development experience — front end and back end
- Node.js, Express.js, Nunjucks and the GOV.UK Design System
- Scripting experience and comfort working with MongoDB
- Solid grasp of technical architecture and system design
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- BA/PO awareness — you understand the product lens, not just the code
- UCD / user research familiarity
- A genuine appetite for mentoring and coaching junior developers
- Excellent stakeholder management — comfortable context-switching across multiple teams
The details
Clearance: Candidates must be BPSS eligible (Baseline Personnel Security Standard — UK national or settled status, clean basic background check, right to work in the UK)
Want to showcase your leadership and development skills? This team is made up of rising talent, and they're looking to you to guide the way. If you love growing people as much as you love growing great software, you'll fit right in.
