We believe that everyone deserves a safe and permanent home – and through tireless lobbying, campaigning and advice work, we’re fighting to make this happen. Our website has a vital role to play in our success. In addition to communicating our messages, it provides online housing advice to around 4,000 people a day, while bringing in a significant amount of our voluntary income.

For this reason, it’s all-important that our site has strong technical support and management – minimising any down-time, and ensuring that it can stay fully operational during a crisis. You’ll be key to achieving this goal, in a role that’ll see you:

• Identifying new and innovative opportunities for further growth online
• Assisting in the assessment and management of risk
• Leading the technical decision-making process in case of a crisis
• Overseeing the development and building of our websites
• Managing two junior web coders and designers
• Enabling us to improve our online service delivery, attracting more support and generating more income

You must have:
• Demonstrable passion for all things online
• Impressive end-to-end project management skills
• Strong UX and design abilities
• Knowledge of CSS, HTML, Javascript, JQuery, Actionscript 2/3, Flash, PHP, graphics packages and SQL
• Personal maturity and superb communication skills
• Commitment to the highest levels of usability, accessibility and functionality
• Ability to work under pressure and react to fast-changing situations
