  • Pick up and deliver in-flight web work and team requests so projects continue without interruption.
  • Build pages and web elements that follow the brand book and templates.
  • Test across devices and browsers, troubleshoot and fix issues, and keep performance and load times strong.
  • Apply SEO best practice and keep content correct and consistent.
  • Hand work back cleanly at the end of the cover period.
  • What you will bring
  • Proven web development experience, with a portfolio.
  • Solid HTML, CSS and Java Script, and hands-on Word Press experience (PHP-based themes, page builders, plugins). Comfortable working in Git.
  • Comfort taking a built design and realising it as a live, responsive, performant site.
  • An eye for visual detail and the discipline to keep work consistent and on-brand.
  • Self-motivated and organised, able to step into an existing setup quickly and manage multiple deadlines.
  • Desirable: graphic design skills for web elements and visual assets, SEO knowledge, web analytics, UX/UI sensibility, familiarity with static-site build tooling, and awareness of web accessibility (WCAG).
