The college has a technology team of over 25, and the IT Director has recently approached Hays looking to add a Senior Systems Developer to their well-established team. The Systems Developer will be an integral part of the team, being led by the team and fully supported throughout your new role at the college.

Your new role

Reporting to the Business Systems Development Team Lead, you will be joining a team of 6 where you will be responsible for supporting, maintaining and developing core applications, as well as system interfaces, integrations and APIs.

This will also allow you to further develop your knowledge of different technologies and systems. On a daily basis, you will provide timely, efficient, and proactive troubleshooting, diagnostics, and resolution of incidents relating to all systems utilised across the college. This will involve support with enhancements, integrations, and interfaces between existing systems, as well as being heavily involved in the development of new systems and digital processes. Additionally, you will be required to produce documentation related to all business systems and work collaboratively with the wider technology team and senior stakeholders.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in securing this position, you must have significant systems development experience, with expertise in Microsoft SQL and REST APIs. Experience with other systems such as Dynamics, PowerBI, PowerApps, SSIS, and PowerShell is beneficial. You should have a passion for working with systems and technologies, a proactive approach to troubleshooting, and an interest in working with a broader IT/Technology team.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will receive a competitive salary between £33,000 and £40,500, along with an attractive benefits package. This includes 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, a local government pension scheme, free parking, access to a cycle-to-work scheme, and various additional benefits. You will be an integral part of a forward-thinking and dynamic team with opportunities for growth and development, including future salary reviews.
