WordPress Developer & Client Manager

Role Overview

As WordPress Full Stack Developer \& Client Manager, you will take full ownership of websites across our external client base.

Hear Care Direct are building out a separate digital consultancy and are building the initial team. With a current client portfolio, they are looking to rapidly expand and develop the team.

This is a hands\-on, delivery\-focused role with real autonomy. You’ll be responsible for developing, updating, monitoring, and bug\-fixing websites \- end\-to\-end. You’ll work closely with the founders, who will operate at a higher\-level strategy and commercial overview, while you lead day\-to\-day execution, diagnostics, and client liaison.
