They've rebuilt their website from the ground up and are now investing heavily in SEO to future-proof their online presence — particularly as AI and LLM-driven search continues to reshape the landscape.
The role
This is a 6-month fixed-term contract brought in specifically to support the team through a significant technical project, with the potential to extend beyond 6 months depending on the scope of work covered. They're looking for someone available to start within the next two weeks.

* Implement structured data (Schema) to enhance visibility and LLM discoverability
* Manage sitemaps, redirects, robots.txt and canonical tags confidently
* Collaborate closely with SEO, content and dev teams on new pages and features
* Monitor performance through GA4, SEMrush and Search Console, spotting trends early
* Support content strategy through technical insights and keyword analysis
* Stay ahead on AI and entity-based search — a key business focus
Essential requirements
* 2+ years' experience in SEO, ideally with a technical or hybrid background
* Strong working knowledge of WordPress (Elementor) and confidence editing HTML, CSS and PHP
* Solid understanding of Core Web Vitals, mobile-first indexing, crawl budgets and site architecture
* Experience using SEMrush, GA4 and Google Search Console
* Analytical mindset with a "find and fix" approach
* Available to start within the next two weeks
Desirable
* Experience with LLM optimisation, structured data or JavaScript SEO
What's on offer
* Salary up to £35,000 FTE
* Healthcare cash plan and company pension
* Birthday off and loyalty awards
* Real ownership of your work within a supportive, down-to-earth culture
* Potential to extend beyond the initial 6-month term depending on scope
