Recruitment Partner: Kershia Broughton
Are you a passionate Front End Developer looking to make a real impact? Join us at Boots, as part of our Technology team, where you'll play a vital role in the development of our Boots Online Doctor healthcare digital platform.
You will play a key role in the development of our internal applications, whilst picking up the skills to take them to the next level. Creating a versatile front end team, mixed with Javascript and HTML/CSS (UI) talent. This divide and concur approach will allow for the successful candidate to be part of the daily work loads building dynamic features for both a back office system and a consumer platform. These features range from product pages, patient check-in systems and our doctor prescription service.
As you’ll work closely with the customer in mind, this role will bridge the product world and frontend developers realm. This collaborative spirit will help ensure that there’s consistency between the high expectations of the platform and the technical demands for creating a scalable application.
The team specialised in frontend technology working in conjunction with AI, and your input will be welcomed and championed as we operate on open dialogs and flatter hierarchy structures.
This role will challenge you, providing not just an everyday Frontend task but the technical skills to also build areas of your knowledge that you might otherwise not get an opportunity to.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you will:
- Advocate for CSS Design Systems, creating scalable and maintainable CSS/HTML strategies.
- Work on UI views with or without dynamic data feeds, split between FE work for JS/TS and HTML/CSS.
- Develop frontend components that enhance efficiency for clinicians and usability for patients.
- Understand basic Angular directives (e.g., ngIf, ngFor) to structure the UI around dynamic content, even if your work focuses on static/mock data.
- Champion tools like StorybookJs and Figma to improve team collaboration and output.
- Support, mentor and communicate with junior team members to evolve their development and technical understanding.
- Drive FE initiatives across Accessibility, WCAG, Styling and working with technologies such as Hugo and CMS software.
- Working with SEO Marketing designer and Copywriter to support Frontend development work and collaborating with Angular developers to refine and structure rough markups, ensuring they adhere to design and UX principles.
- Enhance basic component structures by adding necessary HTML elements (e.g. divs, sections) and applying CSS classes to match design specifications.
- Create clean, reusable, and modular CSS using preprocessors such as SASS or LESS, ensuring scalability and maintainability.
- Work with design systems and component libraries (e.g., Bootstrap, Tailwind) to ensure consistency across the UI and participate in design and code reviews.
