3. Life assurance cover
4. Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential support and guidance
5. Access to an employee benefits and discount platform

11. Working directly within WordPress to populate, structure and format content
12. Coordinating designers, developers and internal stakeholders to maintain delivery timelines
13. Conducting structured pre-launch quality assurance checks across desktop, tablet and mobile
14. Testing forms, integrations, navigation and core user journeys
15. Tracking tasks, milestones and actions within structured project management systems
16. Attending client meetings, supporting communication and managing feedback cycles

18. Hands-on WordPress or CMS experience
19. Experience coordinating or supporting website builds or digital projects
20. Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
21. Excellent attention to detail, particularly in formatting, layout and content accuracy
22. Confident written and verbal communication skills
