About the Role

We’re looking for a Junior WordPress Developer \& Web Designer to join our team and help

design, build and maintain high\-quality WordPress websites.

This is a hands\-on role covering both design and development. You’ll take projects from initial

concepts and designs in Figma, through to development, testing and launch.

We’re looking for someone with a genuine interest in web development, strong attention to detail

Key Responsibilities

● Design responsive websites and interfaces using Figma.

● Translate Figma designs into high\-quality, responsive WordPress websites.

● Develop and customise WordPress themes and functionality.

● Build flexible WordPress websites using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).

● Develop front\-end functionality using HTML, SCSS, JavaScript, React and jQuery.

● Develop and customise WordPress functionality using PHP.

● Apply Object\-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles where appropriate.

● Work with REST APIs, JSON and Server\-Sent Events (SSE).

Flywheel (Local).

● Use Git/GitHub for version control.

● Test, debug and optimise websites across devices and browsers.

● Work with the wider team to deliver projects from design through to launch.

Essential Skills \& Experience

We’re looking for working knowledge and hands\-on experience in:

● WordPress

AI\-Assisted Development

We actively encourage the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude and similar

tools as part of our development workflow.

However, AI is there to assist you — not do the job for you.

We’re looking for someone who uses AI to:

● Research and learn new technologies.

● Investigate bugs and find potential solutions.

● Explore different approaches.

● Speed up repetitive development tasks.

● Review and improve code.

● Generate ideas and test cases.

You must be able to understand, review, test, modify and debug AI\-assisted code and explain

why your chosen solution works.

We are not looking for someone who simply generates a website using AI without understanding the underlying code.

You’ll ideally be:

● Creative and design\-minded.

● Comfortable working in Figma.

● Passionate about websites and technology.

● A logical problem solver.

● Comfortable working with existing code.

● Detail\-oriented and quality\-focused.

● Able to work independently but happy to ask for help when needed.

● Interested in using AI to become a more effective developer.

Desirable

● Custom WordPress theme or plugin development.
