You will implement clearly defined development tasks, initially with guidance and code review from experienced colleagues. Your work will cover both back-end and front-end development, including new features, improvements to existing systems and the investigation of bugs.

• Develop back-end functionality using PHP, JavaScript and MySQL.

• Create responsive, accessible user interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Vue.

• Basic experience using Git.

• The ability to break a problem into manageable steps and ask for help when needed.

• Clear communication and a collaborative approach.

• Node.js.

• MongoDB or another document database.

• Experience with content-management systems.

• Automated testing.

• Continuous integration and deployment.

• Web accessibility, security or performance optimisation.

• Experience working in an Agile development team.

We do not expect a junior candidate to know everything on this list. We are particularly interested in sound fundamentals, evidence of learning and the ability to respond constructively to feedback.

What success looks like

During your first three months, you will become familiar with the Nub News systems, complete smaller fixes and improvements, and contribute code that meets the team's standards.

Within six months, we would expect you to take ownership of smaller features from initial requirement through to testing and release, with appropriate support and review.

What we offer

• A permanent role with a salary of £30,000–£34,000.

• Hybrid working, with at least three days each week alongside colleagues in Crewe.

• Work on products used by local communities throughout the UK.

• Exposure to websites, publishing platforms, APIs and supporting services.
