PHP Web Developer

Want to work for thinkbroadband? - PHP developer wanted

Are you a dynamic enthusiastic PHP web developer? Would you like the opportunity to work for the largest UK broadband information website? Do you want to have influence in the direction we go in?

You must be highly motivated and have relevant experience in LAMP web development. You must be a good programmer capable of working with our existing code and take active responsibility for future development including managing your own time effectively. You would most likely work from home initially, but you would ideally be based in, or be willing to relocate to London or the South East, although we will consider exceptional candidates from anywhere in the UK.

Desirable Skills

Other Details

We are looking for a high quality multi-talented developer who will take on a project and drive it to its conclusion, seeking assistance from others where needed. We are open on the type of past experience, but it is absolutely essential you are able to develop secure and reliable code. Although we are looking to fill a full time role, we will consider part-time applications (although restrictions may apply as to what other type of work you also carry out to ensure we can maintain our integrity and independence). This is not a role for someone who wants to work with rigid specifications, but ideal for someone who wants to be creative and play a key part in shaping the future of thinkbroadband.

There are no formal educational qualifications required but we would encourage anyone who believes they fulfil the above criteria to apply whether they are a recent graduate, seasoned programmer with some years of experience, or even a current student looking to work whilst studying, provided they are prepared to make the commitment and demonstrate their technical abilities. The salary scale of £20-35k FTE is designed to encourage a wide range of applications from both experienced programmers with extra skills and those with the enthusiasm but with no or very little commercial experience to apply. It also takes into consideration the raft of additional skills of a more experienced web developer that may be useful.

We will provide a reliable broadband connection, a development system and any books relating to relevant technologies which help you develop your skills (even if not directly related to a current project).

If you are interested in this position, please send the following (with subject line "Job Application: <your name>" to seb@thinkbroadband.com ..

We are currently processing applications but if you still want to apply, please send in your details urgently.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail seb@thinkbroadband.com.

No agencies please.
