Our educational atmosphere is exceptional, and because we specialise in discovering and developing individual potential, you can be confident that you will receive all of the support and encouragement you require to achieve a meaningful career with numerous prospects for advancement.

Our combined higher and further education offering spans campuses in Derby, Buxton, Leek and Chesterfield, and we have some of the greatest university facilities in the UK, having invested more than £200 million in facilities over the previous decade.

We produce excellent results in our teaching and research, and with over 34,000 students choosing to study with us each year, we rely on the dedication of a team of 2,200 academic and professional services professionals.

About the role

This position is located in a busy External Relations department and is responsible for the continued creation and maintenance of the University of Derby website and any other digital estate related to the University’s student recruitment, marketing and profile-raising activities. In addition, the job is in charge of pushing technology innovation, reporting and analysis, and providing support for essential marketing processes.

We are looking for a candidate with extensive experience in front-end development, including dealing with third-party Content Management Systems (CMS) and related technologies. While experience with a broad development stack is advantageous, competence in full-stack development (client and server-side) is not required for this position, as the University relies on a number of third-party systems for the majority of its back-end (server-side) activities.

As the University’s primary point of contact, you will be able to effectively connect with non-technical stakeholders within the institution.
