· Actively contribute as a hands‑on software engineering individual contributor during the build and test phases, including:
o Reviewing and contributing to code where appropriate.
o Supporting technical problem‑solving and performance optimisation.
o Participating in testing, release, and deployment activities.
· Work closely day‑to‑day with the Digital Engagement team, ensuring technical delivery supports user experience, content, fundraising, and optimisation objectives.
· Establish and embed good engineering practices for the platform, including documentation, environment management, deployment, monitoring, and support handover.
· Take technical ownership of the platform post‑launch, supporting continuous improvement, optimisation, and future enhancements.
Knowledge, skills and experience needed:
· Strong professional experience as a senior software engineer / lead software engineer working on modern website or digital platforms.
· Ideally a full stack engineer with strong front-end skills (our main languages/ frameworks are React and Python/Django).
· Proven experience with modern front‑end and web architectures, including:
o React (or comparable modern JavaScript frameworks).
o Headless CMS and API‑driven architectures.
o CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices.
· Experience acting as a technical owner or lead for an app or website.
· Experience working with modern code management tools e.g. github, bitbucket) and of version control/code branching approaches.

Ready for Your Next Leadership Challenge?
Do you have experience working with children and young people in residential care? Are you passionate about helping young people overcome adversity and achieve positive outcomes? Do you enjoy supporting colleagues, leading by example, and making a lasting difference?
If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Emotional Well-being Home in Leicestershire as a Senior Residential Children & Young People's Worker on a full-time, permanent basis.
About the Service
Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity, works in partnership with Leicestershire County Council to provide high-quality residential care for some of the county's most vulnerable children and young people.
Our homes provide safe, stable and nurturing environments for children and young people aged 8–18 who may have experienced trauma, disrupted attachments, loss, neglect, or other complex life experiences. We support a small number of young people at any one time, enabling us to provide highly individualised care and build meaningful relationships that promote emotional wellbeing, resilience, confidence and independence.
Our practice is rooted in trauma-informed, attachment-aware and relationship-based approaches. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, listened to and supported to achieve their full potential.
Whilst this home will be your primary base, flexibility is required as there may occasionally be opportunities to support other residential services across Leicestershire.
About the Role
As a Senior Residential Children & Young People's Worker, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day operation of the home and providing leadership during shifts.
Working alongside the management team, you will help create a safe, nurturing and structured environment where children and young people can thrive. You will act as a positive role model, supporting colleagues to deliver high-quality care and ensuring that safeguarding remains at the centre of practice.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Hours: 10 to 15 per week. This role requires a flexibility to work evening and flexible hours to attend Board and Committee meetings and the AGM.
The Role
This role provides essential administrative support to our Board of Trustees at regular ordinary meetings (including agenda setting), committee meetings and the Annual General Meeting.
You will be responsible for producing timely and accurate minutes (usually within seven days) of board and other meetings. You will also track and circulate reports and other documentation to trustees and others as appropriate.
Another key responsibility is ensuring meetings are held in accordance with the governing document. In addition, you will oversee the timetable for the board review of strategic documents, including the organisational risk register, policies and procedures, and ensure updated documents are added to internal IT systems, as required.
There is also the opportunity for an experienced candidate to get more involved in other areas such as managing meeting schedules, agenda prepping, producing documents such as the Diversity profile, and our Leadership Self-Assessment portfolio.
