Wildscreen (www.wildscreen.org.uk) is seeking an accomplished and
ambitious Web Developer to contribute to the onward technical
development of the organisation and its international flagship
initiatives, including the award-winning ARKive project –
www.arkive.org.
The successful candidate will have broad ranging web/new media
knowledge and expertise; and a strong and demonstrable background in
building, maintaining and developing content managed websites on a .NET
platform, preferably Umbraco, and developing other bespoke technical
systems all conforming to web standards. The role will involve
migration of many aspects of our systems into a content managed
environment, and the ongoing development of the platform and specific
applications to meet Wildscreen’s future ambitions. The role will
therefore require substantial hands-on coding work, along with design of
architecture for our systems and public-facing websites.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual with a
genuine interest in using these skills in a UK-based charity
organisation working to promote biodiversity awareness, education and
conservation. We need someone who works well in a team and who fully
commits to the projects they are involved in.
The successful candidate will be a member of the Wildscreen
technical development team based at the Wildscreen offices in Bristol,
reporting to the Head of Technology. The post holder, as part of the
technical development team, will work to ensure the reliable delivery of
Wildscreen’s critical technical services, and be prepared to work extra
hours and emergency cover if needed.
As part of a small but dynamic organisation, we expect high levels
of commitment, flexibility and teamwork to ensure the integrity and
quality of Wildscreen’s output is maintained.
