Are you a recent graduate who enjoys building web-based forms, solving practical problems and using technology to make processes work better? We’re looking for a motivated graduate to join our People and Organisation Service and gain hands-on experience developing web-based forms for our HR service, alongside supporting the development of data dashboards and reports.
This opportunity would particularly suit someone who enjoys building forms, wants to apply their HTML and Visual Basic skills in a real-world setting, and enjoys working with data. As part of the role, you’ll also be supported to complete an accredited PRINCE2 project management qualification and apply your learning to real service priorities.
What you’ll be doing
- Support the design, development, testing and maintenance of bespoke digital web forms and workflows, working with users to understand requirements and improve digital processes.
- Assist in the development, enhancement and maintenance of Power BI reports and dashboards, helping to ensure accurate, timely and meaningful data insight.
- Work with colleagues across the People & Organisation service to support systems integration, data quality and the effective flow of information between digital tools and platforms.
- Contribute to defined digital, data and improvement projects, supporting documentation, testing, user guidance and continuous improvement activity.
- Develop technical, analytical and professional skills through supervised work, training and project involvement, supporting progression into a specialist digital, data or systems role.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
