Due to company growth, we have an opportunity for an experienced web developer to work on WordPress designs, site builds and support tasks.

The candidate will need to liaise with the Operations Manager, company directors and support team. They will need to occasionally directly with clients and/or their technical suppliers, be involved in client meetings, work on the formation of web design and development briefs.
