About the Role
We are looking for a WordPress Developer. In this role, you will build and maintain user-friendly, accessible, and impactful WordPress-based websites for our charity and third-sector clients.
Key Responsibilities
• Scoping & Discovery: Work as part of a wider team to understand user needs and required functionality.
• Develop & Maintain WordPress Websites: Build new websites, an appropriate suite of plugins, themes, page-builder and custom development to implement client-specific functionality
• Implementation: Create and translate wireframes into responsive, accessible solutions that work across a wide range of devices and browsers.
• Collaborate with Design & Strategy Team: Work closely with our team to refine layout and interaction details and ensure the website meets the client’s goals and content needs.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Test your work thoroughly (cross-browser, mobile, accessibility checks) and fix bugs or layout issues.
• Client Support & Training: Attend client meetings to gather technical requirements or demo new features. Provide ongoing client support by resolving website issues, via content updates and preparing user training on the WordPress CMS.
• Maintenance & Optimisation: Regularly update core WordPress themes and plugins on existing client sites. Ensure websites are secure and optimised (monitor site speed, SEO basics). Troubleshoot any hosting or domain/DNS issues in coordination with our hosting provider.
Required Skills & Experience
• WordPress Development: 1–3 years experience creating, developing and deploying effective websites with WordPress.
• Front-End Web Technologies: A working knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Ability to work with coded, responsive layouts and implement modern CSS (Flexbox/Grid) and basic JS/jQuery for interactive elements.
• PHP & MySQL: Working knowledge of PHP to implement simple functionality. Understanding of MySQL/Database interactions with WordPress.
• Web Standards & Accessibility: Awareness of web standards, semantics, and accessibility guidelines (WCAG). Commitment to building inclusive, user-friendly interfaces.
• Problem-Solving: Strong debugging skills and resourcefulness. Able to troubleshoot layout issues, functionality errors, or performance problems systematically.
• Communication & Teamwork: Strong communication skills to work with a remote team. Comfortable explaining technical concepts to non-technical teammates or clients. Proactive in asking questions and reporting progress or blockers.
Desirable Skills & Experience
• Advanced WordPress Skills: Knowledge of page builders (e.g. Beaver Builder, Elementor, Divi) and custom field frameworks (e.g. Advanced Custom Fields).
• E-Commerce: Familiarity with WooCommerce (setup of online donation or shop features) or other WordPress e-commerce plugins.
• SEO & Analytics: Working SEO knowledge (meta tags, structured data) and ability to implement Google Analytics or other tracking tools.
• Design Skills: An eye for design or experience with Adobe XD/Figma. Ability to do minor graphic editing or optimize images for the web is a plus.
• DevOps/Hosting: Experience with web hosting environments, cPanel, or deploying sites. Knowledge of DNS, SSL, and CDN configuration.
What We Offer:
• Flexible & Remote Working: We are a remote-first team. We meet in person every two months in Glasgow for team building - otherwise, office attendance is optional.
• Holiday & Leave: 25 days annual leave + 8 public holidays (full-time) and your birthday off.
• Pension & Benefits: 5% employer pension contribution (matched to 5% employee).
• Learning & Growth: You’ll have opportunities to take on new responsibilities and grow your skill set. We provide a training budget and regular “innovation days” for learning.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
