About the Company
Join our client’s development team, which is a growing bespoke software company based in Olney, Buckinghamshire. They’ve recently relocated to expand their operations and take on exciting new projects that solve real business challenges for SMEs and enterprises across the UK.
What makes them different? They believe in building lasting relationships with their clients, not just software. Their unique all-inclusive monthly fee model makes bespoke solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes, and their "no-ticket" support philosophy means you'll work directly with clients - essentially as an extended member of their team.

The Role
Our client is now looking for a Trainee Frontend Web Developer to work on the user‑facing side of bespoke projects.

You'll also contribute to the UI of their mobile applications, working closely with the wider development team to keep things consistent across web and app.
This hands‑on role involves multiple projects at once—from business management systems and e‑commerce platforms to mobile apps—while staying long‑term with those projects to truly understand the clients and their businesses.

- Possess some graphic design ability, comfortable producing or tidying visual assets, icons, or marketing materials
- Understand UI/UX principles and accessibility basics
- Have experience with CSS frameworks like Tailwind
- Have any exposure to backend technologies such as PHP, Node.js, or MySQL
