What does Florence do?

Florence is building the technology to power the health and social care workforce. From first revenue in 2017, we have grown to a team of 200+ people across the UK. Our goal is to become a category-defining tech company that empowers the entire health and social care workforce across the UK and internationally.

• We have real input into the product’s development and work closely with people from around the business to offer suggestions and ideas
• We tend to keep projects small. We favour rapid iteration and learning over big releases
• We’re happy to throw out a solution if it does not help our customers
• We’re open to ideas from across the business and regularly update our roadmaps to prioritise the most pressing needs
• We encourage software engineers to embrace data and to care about the success of the product
• We encourage learning and development. You get a budget to spend on books and courses and we have a learning day on the last Friday of every month
• Infrastructure: Heroku
• Backend: Ruby on Rails / Postgres / redis
• Frontend: React/ Typescript

Our core product at Florence, is a marketplace that connects care providers with nurses and care workers looking for flexible shifts. This product has an annual turnover of £50m and is used by more than 2,000 care providers across the UK, France and Canada. Nurses and carers have worked over 14 million hours and earned more than £300 million by booking shifts using Florence.

Who are we?

We’re a team of Software Engineers, Product Designers and Product managers with a variety of backgrounds, skills and experiences. You can learn more about some of the people who work here on our careers page at https://www.florence.co.uk/our-company/careers/

What’s the interview process like?

Our interview process is simple, just two rounds and no coding tests.

The first round is a chat with our CTO and a software engineer - there will be some “tell us about a time when…” questions around your experience building web applications and plenty of opportunities for you to find out more about Florence.

The second round is a chat with one of our product managers and someone else from the team. This is more informal and gives you an opportunity to meet more of the team. We'll talk through one of the product challenges we're tackling at the moment and get some of your thoughts and ideas.

For more junior candidates (< 1 year experience) we may in addition ask you to undertake a brief code review of some sample code, highlighting what it does, and any areas you would improve it.

• 25 days holiday (pro rata) + 8 Bank holidays and holiday rollover / buy more holiday scheme

• Employee Assistance Programme in place
• Opportunity to contribute to growth in an early-stage startup
