About The Role
We are looking for a web developer to cover a period of maternity leave on a fixed-term basis. You will keep perspectum.com (WordPress) running, accurate and on-brand, and you will play a central part in a live project: transitioning our in-house concept site into the production website. The concept site is hand-built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so you will be comfortable both in WordPress and in front-end code, turning a finished design concept into a live, performant site. You will sit in Digital Media and work with teams across the business.
What You Will Do
- Maintain and update perspectum.com in WordPress, keeping it accurate, on-brand and fully functional.
- Help build out and transition the in-house concept site into the production website, working in hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no CSS framework, using Python build tooling and a Git-based deployment workflow.
- Pick up and deliver in-flight web work and team requests so projects continue without interruption.
- Build pages and web elements that follow the brand book and templates.
- Test across devices and browsers, troubleshoot and fix issues, and keep performance and load times strong.
- Apply SEO best practice and keep content correct and consistent.
- Hand work back cleanly at the end of the cover period.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Bring
- Proven web development experience, with a portfolio.
- Solid HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and hands-on WordPress experience (PHP-based themes, page builders, plugins). Comfortable working in Git.
- Comfort taking a built design and realising it as a live, responsive, performant site.
- An eye for visual detail and the discipline to keep work consistent and on-brand.
- Self-motivated and organised, able to step into an existing setup quickly and manage multiple deadlines.
- Desirable: graphic design skills for web elements and visual assets, SEO knowledge, web analytics, UX/UI sensibility, familiarity with static-site build tooling, and awareness of web accessibility (WCAG).
