Salary: c.£43,430 per annum, depending on experience + good range of benefits
Contract: Permanent – 36.5 hours per week
Based: Remote, Milton Keynes or London
World Vision is an international children’s charity working with children, their communities, and with supporters and partners, in almost 100 countries.
Through long-term development projects, emergency responses and advocacy we’ve helped bring lasting change to millions of children, over more than 60 years. And as a Christian organisation, everything we do is motivated by our faith as we strive to reflect God’s unconditional love.
Work for World Vision UK and you will be part of a truly global Partnership, building brighter futures for vulnerable children.
Job Purpose
We’re creating a brand-new team to do something very special.
We’ve already glimpsed what a really great digital team can do at the heart of an amazing organization, connecting our supporters directly with the children whose lives they’re helping to transform, responding more quickly to natural disasters and using technology for good.
Now we’re transforming ourselves by bringing a digital production capability to the heart of our organization and creating a brand-new agile scrum development practice to accelerate the adoption of digital marketing best practice and transform our capability to transform the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children. We’d love you to be a part of that.
The Digital Platform Team will focus on creating the seamless digital platform required to execute growth in the digital channel and to create an outstanding digital supporter experience. The .NET Web Developer (TDD Specialist) will develop the core application code for web applications using a .NET CMS platform, whilst leading your team on best-practice TDD techniques and tools.
You’ll be part of a thriving Christian organisation, so you’ll need to be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations, and you’ll work directly with colleagues across the organisations to facilitate rapid agile development and data driven decision making as part of the digital collective (digitalcollective.org.uk).
In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking (MK only) and the opportunity for flexible hours and remote working. We’re looking for the right person, and if that’s you, we should talk.
