Web Developer

Loughborough College Group is looking for an enthusiastic Web Developer to create and improve the websites, applications, and digital tools that support our students and staff. Unlike roles focused on a single product, this position offers a variety of projects with visible, real-world impact.

You’ll join a small, dedicated web team within IT and collaborate with colleagues in Marketing, Student Recruitment and other teams across the College Group. Together you’ll develop websites, digital communications, web applications and digital solutions that attract future students, support learning and make everyday tasks simpler for students and staff.

You’ll contribute throughout the project lifecycle, from gathering requirements and planning to building, testing, deployment and continuous improvement. Your ideas will be valued, giving you genuine influence over our solutions and ways of working.

• Design, develop, and build websites, web applications, and digital tools.
• Enhance existing services through new functionality, improved performance, and greater accessibility.
• Fix bugs, maintain live systems, and resolve support requests.
• Test your work, manage code using Git, and maintain clear, up-to-date documentation.
• Collaborate with colleagues to understand challenges and deliver practical, innovative solutions.

• Strong problem-solving and logical-thinking skills
• Strong experience with HTML5, CSS or SCSS, and JavaScript, including a major framework such as Svelte, React or Angular
• Experience with server-side technologies such as PHP, Node.js, or .NET
• Strong organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to meet deadlines and work effectively within a team

• Experience with content management systems such as Word Press or Drupal
• Experience with SQL, including MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server
• Experience building accessible websites that meet WCAG 2.1 standards

• Experience working with design systems

You’ll build digital services that people use every day and see their impact on real users. We’ll encourage you to use current technologies and best practices while developing your skills in a fast-moving field. Whether you want to deepen your technical expertise or help shape the team’s approach, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow.
