Website Developer

Apprenticeship Level 4

We are looking for a dynamic trainee website developer to support the building, and testing of, high-quality code across front end, logic and database layers. You will work as part of a team, in which you will have responsibility for some of the straightforward elements of the overall project, leading to more complex projects as your skills develop. You will learn the art of software development while working on various live projects and to interpret design documentation and specifications.

The Website Developers core focus will be working on WordPress based websites, Bootstrap 4 based websites and expand into backend software development.

Psittacus Systems Ltd and we’re one of the fastest growing bespoke software developers in the UK; that means we design intelligent, cost-effective and intuitive web-based applications that help streamline processes for businesses.

We take a unique approach by fusing traditional and new methods to develop quality software at speed, while retaining our personal touch and fastidious attitude to planning. This post will be based in our Rothwell (Northants) office.

As our apprentice you will be part of a team that ensures we maintain a high customer-focused approach on a daily basis. The successful candidate will support our business through a range of activities, with full guidance and support.


Your duties will include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Development of good quality code (logic) with sound syntax in at least one language
• Support the development of effective user interfaces
• Effectively link code to the database/data sets
• Support testing of code and analyse results and correct identified errors
• Develop simple data models and software designs
• Develop a good understanding of analysis artefacts, such as user cases and/or user stories
• Support the building, management and deployment of code into enterprise environments
• Take project instruction software designs and functional/technical specifications
• Operate across all stages of the software development lifecycle

We couldn’t do what we do for our clients if we didn’t work as a team, so we pride ourselves in achieving things together. Attention to detail is essential and expected from our customers.

Whilst everyone is responsible for their own tasks our teamwork approach means there may be days when you need to lend a helping hand but understand all our team will do the same for you.
