£27,000

Is it you we've been looking for?

Dorset Software is a leading provider of digital consultancy services. We deliver innovative software development programmes to a range of high-profile clients spanning multiple industries.

As a Developer you’ll be a key member of our consulting services team working on a range of assignments using all the latest tools and technologies, and assisting our high-profile clients, such as Waitrose, the NHS Resolution and WorldPay.

You’ll become proficient in a wide range of skills including cloud infrastructure, programming, application engineering and testing. Through practical hands-on experience and ongoing training, you’ll be continually expanding your knowledge and developing new skills. After 2 years, you'll gain a government accredited qualification in Software Development.

A day in the life of you...

Once you’ve completed your initial training, you’ll work either in-house or at client sites across the UK delivering exceptional service and building on your knowledge.

A snapshot of a typical day may look a little like this:

  • Reviewing a client’s system to make sure you know their product inside and out
  • Using your technical knowledge and problem-solving skills to write top quality code
  • Testing the software to ensure it’s working as intended
  • Building a new Cloud data platform in AWS and Google Cloud
  • Continuing to learn about relevant tools and technologies

Learning the ropes

We don’t expect any specific IT experience, nor do we expect you to work for nothing - so before you’re assigned a live client project, you’ll get the chance to learn all the necessary skills while getting paid.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • 5 months' full-time training covering all aspects of software development, including programming, testing, application engineering and cloud computing
  • Your first 12 months spent in Poole, before relocating to our Manchester office
  • Continued supported training for 2 years, leading to a government accredited qualification in Software Development
  • A designated trainer to help you through the course
  • Access to further resources to build your knowledge base
  • A friendly, collaborative culture with like-minded colleagues

Now you know about the role...

Do you have...?

  • At least a 2:1 undergraduate degree or a PhD in STEM subject, plus an excellent academic background
  • A passion for technology and motivation to quickly develop a wide range of development skills
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • A methodical approach to problem solving, with excellent time management skills

Are you...?

  • Ready to embark on an exciting and challenging career
  • Willing to travel and work at client sites across the UK
  • Able to quickly adapt to new situations

Further benefits...

  • Salary of £27,000 during initial training, rising to £31,000 on completion
  • 5 months full time training at our dedicated Training Centre
  • Your first 12 months spent in Poole, before relocating to our Manchester office
  • A government accredited qualification in Software Development, assessed by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT
  • Regular salary reviews
  • Transparent and structured career progression
  • Adaptable working hours and holiday provision
  • A relaxed work environment
  • Funding to study and obtain industry-recognised qualifications
  • Job variety working with blue-chip and public sector clients on a number of unique projects
  • Company pension scheme
  • Regular subsidised sporting and social events
  • Onsite bike parking and shower facilities
  • An unlimited supply of chocolate biscuits, or fresh fruit for the health conscious!
